Literature
“Oregon experiences are the stuff of literature, from a Chinook village in Clatsop County to a ranch at the base of Steens Mountain, and from Senator Wayne Morse on the Gulf of Tonkin resolution to Ken Kesey on counterculture, Ursula LeGuin on Mount St. Helens, and maestro James DePreist on missiles and Mozart.”—Rick Hardt, Oregon Literature Series
