Fort Canby and Port Cooby Tales and Tahlequah
A vivid 1902 Salem Statesman column ribaldly lampoons Oregon politics and the Western garrison life. It drifts from the East Oregonian debate on a levy to Fort Canby, Wasco and Alcatraz Island punishment, and a satirical journey through the Columbia River bar. It skewers railroad lobbying, direct senatorial elections, and boozy frontier lore with local color and dark humor.
