Lincoln and the
Oregon Country
Join historian author Richard
Etulain on Tuesday, April 28, at
1 p.m., when he discusses
Abraham Lincoln and his rela-
tionship to Oregon. One connec-
tion: Lincoln had considered but
ultimately turned down the terri-
torial governorship of Oregon.
Etulain’s well-researched and
clearly told story demonstrates
how links between Washington,
D.C., and the Oregon Country
helped shape both Lincoln’s
policies and Oregon politics.
Many patrons may remember
Etulain from a previous program
series in Florence when he dis-
cussed the author Wallace
Stegner.
Don’t miss this opportunity to
hear a nationally-known histori-
an speak about our 16th
President and the Oregon
Country.
This is the final program in a
month of programs related to
Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War,
and Oregon.
