Stearn's 'Guide'

Abstract

"[A book] has just been acquired by the University of Washington Library. It is entitled The Official Gazette and Travelers' and Immigrants' Guide to Oregon and Washington Territory, by D.H. Stearns… The volume gives much valuable information including state and county officers, lists of post offices, leading business names, newspapers, stage routes, etc. Like most other guidebooks written to attract Eastern immigrants, it contains a glowing account of the beauties and possibilities of the Northwest."
