Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Oregon's unique history is marked by the rise and fall of three state capitol buildings, two of which were lost to fire. The first, established in 1855, was allegedly set ablaze during a political struggle, while the second, inspired by the US Capitol and featuring a striking copper dome, succumbed to flames in 1935. Following this disaster, a new capitol was constructed during the Great Depression, distinguished by its golden pioneer atop the structure, symbolizing resilience and hope amidst adversity.
