Excerpt from Hall Jackson Kelley, Vol. 18: Prophet of Oregon In this monograph is presented the life story of Hall Jack son Kelley, a Boston school master who about 1817 became interested in Oregon, and from 1824 to 1844 was active in the movement for its settlement by American citizens. It tells of his success and of his failures, and of the service which justly entitles him to be known as the prophet of Oregon. So far as possible the narrative is given in Kelley's own words, but all available materials have been used which in any way supplement or amend his writings. At the most our information is fragmentary and unsatisfactory on many points; but as Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge has said, We can only deal with what we have, and from what we possess must infer the rest, for that alone is permitted to us. The inference thus drawn is history. Not that inferential judgments have been formed Where investigation might have disclosed the fact. The search for facts has been pursued for ten years through a score of libraries in all parts of the country, with the results which appear in the pages that follow. To those who, in common with Mr. Lodge, require that history be informed by imagination and presented with the finest skill of which literature is capable, this contribution may have little appeal. It is intended for those whose interest lies Within the field of the great westward movement in Amer ican history and the history of the Northwest Coast. Surely a record of fact is desirable concerning a man who has been mentioned so often and yet so seldom with accuracy.
