<div>This book, "Pioneers of Oregon" was never meant to be a complete study of
all pioneers of Oregon. This is the Oregon Pioneers of just one family -
descendants of Daniel Richardson and allied families. Each of us with Oregon
ancestors could write a book about our "Pioneers of Oregon" -- and each would be
different.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>From experience I know that it is very hard to title a book so the title is
meaningful to the author and family, and is meaningful to a greater audience,
and how will it be indexed and shelved in a library. When you begin to think of
all those aspects, writing the book is the easy part.</div>
