I just learned about Google books today and think that is a great resource for County & State Histories!  Thanks for sharing.

      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.
