Excerpt from The Storm's Gift

Encouraged by the success of my book the "Earthmotor, " I am again in print. So much of book is true history of pioneer times, the reviewers of the M. S. S. claim for it a place among the historical records of Oregon. As many of the characters are still living, it was necessary to use ficticious names, however numbers of Oregon pioneers will recognize the characters under the assumed names. The South Sea Island spoken of in this book has been visited by the author, where many evidences of the Clarke Colony still remain. To Mrs. Francis H. Christ the author owes much for her able assistance in getting out this work. She being a distinguished librarian on a summer outing near my home. Kindly assisted me with thought and detail.
