<p>All Quiet on the Yamhill, the journal of Corporal Royal A. Bensell, tells the story of a company of California volunteers who enlisted to fight for the Union in the Civil War - only to be sent to Oregon to guard harmless Indians. These soldiers contributed nothing to the great decision, and the bare facts of their service might be worth nothing more than a footnote in the history of the war. But Corporal Bensell, no ordinary soldier, had a highly critical mind and a deep sense of the absurdity of the situation in which he and his fellow volunteers found themselves. In his journal, the dull routine of garrison life far from the realities of war becomes an absorbing tale of human frustration.</p>

In the summer of 1899, Henry Villard celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his arrival in Oregon by revisiting the Willamette Valley and the sites of his numerous transportation projects. During that visit, his achievements in the creation and management of those railroad and navigation enterprises received widespread public appreciation. This prompted Villard to write a formal record of his experiences as his final contribution to the state and people of Oregon. Henry Villard passed away on November 12, 1900.At his request, the publication of this manuscript was delayed for many years. It first appeared as a serial in the Portland Oregonian in 1926, and was reprinted as part of the University of Oregon Monographs series in 1944.
