"Del Campo Ya Pasamos A Otras Cosas--From The Field We Move On To Other Things": Ethnic Mexican Narrators And Latino Community Histories In Washington County, Oregon, Luke Sprunger
Dissertations and Theses
This work examines the histories of the Latino population of Washington County, Oregon, and explores how and why ethnic Mexican and other Latino individuals and families relocated to the county.

Less than two months following Saules' arrest, Oregon's Provisional Government passed its infamous "Lash Law," banning the immigration of free black people to the region. While the government repealed the law in 1845, Oregon passed a territorial black exclusion law in 1849 …
