Carlos Arnaldo Schwantes has revised and expanded the entire work; which is still the most comprehensive and balanced history of the region. This edition contains significant additional material on early mining in the Pacific Northwest; sea routes to Oregon in the early discovery and contact period; the environment of the region; the impact of the Klondike gold rush; and politics since 1945. Recent environmental controversies; such as endangered salmon runs and the spotted owl dispute; have been addressed; as has the effect of the Cold War on the region’s economy. The author has also expanded discussion of the roles of women and minorities and updated statistical information.
