This study deals with the historical geography of coastal pioneer trails during the period of settlement, for the most part before 1860. The Oregon Coast is presented as it was seen trough he eyes of early travelers, and against the background of coastal features, climate, terrain, drainage and vegetation. Though this is a geography of a past period, it also includes relevant firsthand descriptions of coastal features, in the present tense, based on many years of field study by the writer.

During the second half of the nineteenth century, the Willamette River served as the primary means of transportation for both people and goods in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Riverboats plied the river along a series of landings and small communities where much of the population clustered. Some of these settlements, such as Albany and Springfield, developed into the towns and metropolitan centers of present-day Oregon. Others, such as Lancaster, flourished briefly before gradually declining or disappearing altogether as transportation shifted to roads and railroads."Willamette Landings", originally published in 1947, offers a portrait of the Willamette River at a time when it was the bustling center of commerce and settlement. McKinley's account presents a perspective unfamiliar today - from the river itself. This new edition includes maps, numerous historic photographs, and in introduction by the well-known writer Robin Cody, whose affinity with the life and history of rivers of the Pacific Northwest is long-standing.
