Description
Eva Emery Dye is the author of McLoughlin and Old Oregon, The Conquest, and McDonald of Oregon. Her heroes are Indians, traders, trappers, missionaries and pioneers, the first whose feet trod the shores of Puget Sound and the Rover Columbia. Mrs. Dye is the mother of four children and wrote The Conquest while two of her children were babies. In 1934 her latest book The Soul of America, an Oregon Iliad was published. Commenting on this book Mrs. Dye says: "This is an Oregon story, but it is much more than that. It reaches back into the origins of Oregonians, and the spirit that brought them here. It is not adventure merely; it is history and it is life." The Oregon Skylark and The Oregon Grape are her best known poems. The Oregon Grape was set to music by A.M. Sanders.
