Introduction.
Welcome to Project Gutenberg’s edition of Portland, Oregon, A. D. 1999 and other sketches, a novel by Jeff W. Hayes. Hayes also released this book under the title of Paradise on Earth. Aside from the title, the cover and contents of both books are the same.
This Project Gutenberg version.
We based our production of Portland, Oregon, A. D. 1999 and other sketches on the edition of the novel with that title, published in 1913, by F. W. Baltes and Company. We used the scanned copy from the Bancroft Library of the University of California available at the Internet Archives as our source.
Detailed Notes.
Instead of correcting (and changing) a lot of the narrative, we tried to preserve as much of it as possible. The spelling of words such as encoure, mein, employe, brusquesness, pleasureable, inadvertantly, and aboriginies were retained.
