- Presented by Dr. Carl Abbott, Emeritus Professor of Urban Studies and Planning, Portland State University
Recorded on January 5, 2015
McMenamins Kennedy School, Portland, Oregon
Portland may be the largest city in Oregon, but it has had plenty of competition since the 1840s. As steamboats and then railroads tied the Pacific Northwest into the national economy, cities in different corners of Oregon experienced booming growth. Carl Abbott will present a lecture and slideshow that will start and end with a brief history of Portland, but will make brief stops along the way in cities as far apart as Astoria, Klamath Falls, and Baker City as he traces the development of a statewide system of cities and towns.
Carl Abbott taught at Portland State University from 1978 to 2013. He has written extensively on the history of Portland and the Pacific Northwest and has been active as a board member of a number of community groups, including the Oregon Encyclopedia, the Historic Preservation League of Oregon, the Oregon Downtown Development Association, and Livable Oregon. He is a contributor to the Oregonian and Portland Monthly and is a frequent speaker to community groups.

This would have been very good if I could have seen the pictures and maps
+Dennis Larson Thank you for viewing the film and for the comment! While we would love to include the slides, OHS does not have the copyright over images used in the slides the presenters created, so we are unable to share those on our social media channel.
Will be coming back to watch more. Thanks for sharing!
I'd love to be able to see the slides :)

i thought copyright was null for purposes of education?
In the future you might think about the presentation a little more. Staring at people from 4 feet away is generally not considered "natural" and all of these presentations suffer from that. Watching someone read is not good video. There are enough pictures of Oregon in the public domain to add to this presentation without violating copyright.
Hoping since you all shot this you've taught your cameraman how to zoom out. Woulda been helpful to see..... ANYTHING he was referring to. Seriously?
How about next time, you read the dammed description?
lol, the lack of comments tells the story
