I just  ran across an interesting discussion of the origins of Oregon in a
book on  Heritage Quest;

Burnett, Peter H.
An old California  pioneer
Oakland, Calif.: Biobooks, 1946, 309 pgs

What caught my eye  was the discussion on marriage laws, it included
requirements for recording  the transaction.

I haven't followed through to figure out why we have  such a detailed
analysis or the history of Oregon in a "California Pioneer"  book, but I am
sure it's fascinating.



I thought this sounded fascinating and might try to find a copy.  I  did.
However, I think I will let someone else buy them.
