Notes: A pamphlet to lure prospective immigrants to Oregon with the promise of cheap land, its author, Thomas Hogg, by most accounts was one of the great early swindlers in the Oregon territory. In the late 1870s, Hogg along with Wallis Nash and Joseph Avery, sold bonds backed by land that was never owned by Hogg, Avery or Nash. This document, issued shortly after Hogg's arrival in Oregon, provides evidence of an early business venture.
