SERIES EDITOR'S PREFACE
In 1990 the Oregon State University Press issued its first two books in the Northwest Reprint Series, Oregon Detour by Nard Jones, and Nehalem Tillamook Tales, edited by Melville Jacobs. Since then, the series has reissued a range of books by Northwest writers, both fiction and nonfiction, making available again works of well-known and lesser-known writers.
As the series developed, we realized that we did not always want to reissue a complete work; instead we wanted to present selections from the works of a single author or selections from a number of writers organized around a unifying theme. Oregon State University Press, then, has decided to start a new series, the Northwest Readers Series.
The reasons for the Northwest Readers Series are the same as for the Northwest Reprint Series: "In works by Northwest writers, we get to know about the place where we live, about each other, about our history and culture, and about our flora and fauna."

PREFACE
For many years after his death in 1944, Charles Erskine Scott Wood and his writing were known to but a handful of the faithful, most of them on the Pacific or Atlantic coasts. This book is designed to give its readers a vital sense of Wood's writing and life. His contribution to American literature and his participation in his epoch make him a figure whose legacy invites reconsideration and deserves recognition. A well-known figure in the early part of this century, his fame has faded since the 1950s. It has not, though, vanished. Since his death and the last reprint of Heavenly Discourse in 1946, writers, historians, and free spirits have been rediscovering him and working to restore honor to this prophet in his own country.
One of the editors of this collection first came across Wood in the late 1950s, and published an essay in Northwest Review in 1958 called "Charles Erskine Scott Wood: 'An Era and a Realm.'" This was followed by other essays and a pamphlet on Wood published by Boise State University's Western Writers Series in 1990. In the early 1980s, John Miller and Katherine O'Neil, both associated with the Portland law firm of Wood Tatum Mosser Brook and Holden, launched a series of Round Tables at the Oregon Historical Center that sought to rekindle interest in Wood. This law firm, of which Wood's grandson Erskine B. Wood was a senior partner, joined with the Oregon Historical Society and the Portland Art Museum to stage an impressive exhibit entitled "The Legacy of C. E. S. Wood," timed to celebrate the centennial of his entering the practice of law in Portland.
The other editor of this collection has published several essays on Wood and between 1984 and 1989 produced three different adaptations of Heavenly Discourse for the stage; he also organized a group of players called The Heavenly Discoursers who performed readers' theater versions of Heavenly Discourse in cafes and taverns around Portland. In the early 1990s, photographer Ron Cronin combined his photographs of eastern Oregon with passages from
