Some topics in Oregon History are so big that they require a longer entry.
Topics such as the Oregon Trail, Woman's Suffrage, Blacks in Oregon, and the Columbia River are too complex to cover in a standard-sized encyclopedia entry. The OE asked experts to write essays on these larger topics. Each essay includes historical photographs and links to digitized primary source documents on the Oregon History Project.
