''Oregon and Eldorado: Or Romance of the Rivers'' is a historical non-fiction book written by Thomas Bulfinch and published in 1866. The book explores the history of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, focusing on the Oregon Trail and the California Gold Rush. Bulfinch recounts the experiences of early pioneers who traveled westward along the Oregon Trail, describing the challenges they faced and the landscapes they encountered. He also delves into the history of the Native American tribes who lived in the region before the arrival of European settlers. The second part of the book focuses on the California Gold Rush of the mid-19th century, which drew thousands of prospectors to the region in search of wealth. Bulfinch describes the often chaotic and violent atmosphere of the gold rush, as well as the impact it had on the indigenous peoples of California. Throughout the book, Bulfinch weaves together historical accounts, personal anecdotes, and literary references to create a vivid and engaging portrait of the Pacific Northwest during this pivotal period in American history. ''Oregon and Eldorado'' is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
