"For years our General Government has been publishing through railroad surveys and the annual reports of the United States Geological Surveys a large mass and wide range of geological information on the structure and history of our Western coast. But this large body of information is so scattered that few have the time to collect enough of it to form a continuous unity of its history. Besides, there are many things in the geology of Oregon of lively interest to the young and the uninstructed, and running through them all are the threads of a continuous unity that seem capable of a possible narrative form such as might increase the interest of the young." (from the intriduction).
