Book Description
Excerpt from Stories of Nehalem Few realize the importance of the labor, the hardships and the courage of the pioneers, women and men, who voluntarily isolate themselves from the rest of the world and pave the way for civilization. There is no tribute man can pay to these determined members of our race, no laurel sufficient with which to surround their memory. Their lives are Spent in a world to which the applause of hero worship has never come. They pursue their routine of life without thought of what, either in praise or censure, others may say. Each one to whom the name can be appropriately applied is a hero or heroine. The story of Robinson Crusoe, wrecked upon a desolate island, is of no more interest and possesses no more of hard ship and privation than is told scores of times in the beginning of settlement in any new land. Each pio neer, while not cast upon a desolate island, is so iso lated from the world and all the grandeur it possesses that the story of that life is filled with heart interest. The woman and the man who turn their back upon civilization, who voluntarily surrender the pleasures of modern life for the dull monotony and the rigid hard ships of pioneering, are as much deserving of the med als and acclaim of the multitudes as the man who saves the life of another. The journey through the pathless forest is filled with discouragements and disappoint ments; at every turn there are difficulties to overcome. Place yourself, if you can, far from all civilization in a spot surrounded by giant forest trees in which thevoice of man has never echoed and with the resolve to spend a lifetime there; place yourself in this posi tion, with no shelter save only what nature has made. Before you are years of usefulness, and years you know to be crowded with ceaseless toil. Your cabin must be fashioned by hand from the trees about you; all the things to make life pleasant or comfortable must be the fruits of your own labor. Your garden spot is to be wrested from the stumps of the trees from which you build your home and in ground the sun has never kissed.

Book Description
In 1933 and 1934, Elizabeth Jacobs, advised by her husband, the noted anthropologist Melville Jacobs, conducted fieldwork on the Nehalem Tillamook culture of northwestern Oregon. Working with her extraordinarily able Nehalem Tillamook consultant Clara Pearson, Jacobs recorded extensive ethnographic and folkloric materials that far surpass in quality and quantity the Tillamook research of previous investigators. Jacobs' collaboration with Pearson eventually resulted in the publication of "Nehalem Tillamook Tales, an exceptional collection of myths and tales recorded in English. But the companion ethnography was never finished. "The Nehalem Tillamook grew from that unfinished manuscript. First, in consultation with Elizabeth Jacobs, the manuscript was expanded and extensively edited by William Seaburg. After Elizabeth Jacobs' death in 1983, Seaburg added careful annotations and a detailed historical introduction. The result is a remarkable book that fills an important gap in what was previously known about Northwest Coast native cultures. This is the first book-length ethnography of any Western Oregon native group, and it will be invaluable for drawing comparisons with other Northwest Coast native cultures, especially in the areas of female roles, world view, and social expressions of supernaturalism.

Book Description
The Chinook Indians, who originally lived at the mouth of the Columbia River in present-day Oregon and Washington, were experienced traders long before the arrival of white men to that area. When Captain Robert Gray in the ship Columbia Rediviva, for which the river was named, entered the Columbia in 1792, he found the Chinooks in an important position in the trade system between inland Indians and those of the Northwest Coast. The system was based on a small seashell, the dentalium, as the principal medium of exchange. The Chinooks traded in such items as sea otter furs, elkskin armor which could withstand arrows, seagoing canoes hollowed from the trunks of giant trees, and slaves captured from other tribes. Chinook women held equal status with the men in the trade, and in fact the women were preferred as traders by many later ships' captains, who often feared and distrusted the Indian men. The Chinooks welcomed white men not only for the new trade goods they brought, but also for the new outlets they provided Chinook goods, which reached Vancouver Island and as far north as Alaska. The trade was advantageous for the white men, too, for British and American ships that carried sea otter furs from the Northwest Coast to China often realized enormous profits. Although the first white men in the trade were seamen, land-based traders set up posts on the Columbia not long after American explorers Lewis and Clark blazed the trail from the United States to the Pacific Northwest in 1805. John Jacob Astor's men founded the first successful white trading post at Fort Astoria, the site of today's Astoria, Oregon, and the North West Company and the Hudson's Bay Company soon followed into the territory. As more white men moved into the area, the Chinooks began to lose their favored position as middlemen in the trade. Alcohol; new diseases such as smallpox, influenza, and venereal disease; intertribal warfare; and the growing number of white settlers soon led to the near extinction of the Chinooks. By 1&51, when the first treaty was made between them and the United States government, they were living in small, fragmented bands scattered throughout the territory. Today the Chinook Indians are working to revive their tribal traditions and history and to establish a new tribal economy within the white man's system.
