Excerpt: Peter Hardeman Burnett (November 15, 1807 May 17, 1895) was an American politician and the first state Governor of California, serving from December 20, 1849 to January 9, 1851. He was also the first California governor to resign from office. Burnett previously served briefly during December 1849 as the territorial civilian governor of California. Born in Nashville, Tennessee but raised in rural Missouri to a lower-class family, Burnett received no formal education in his youth, but self educated himself regarding law and government. After owning a general store, Burnett turned to a career in law. During his career as a lawyer, Burnett defended a group of Mormons including Joseph Smith who were accused of treason, arson and robbery. During the trial, Burnett requested a change of venue for the court proceedings, where during transportation to the next venue, the accused Mormons escaped. In 1843, Burnett became part of the exodus of Easterners ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=7679300 ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt:Seal of the Provisional Government The Provisional Government of Oregon was a popularly elected government created in the Oregon Country, in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. It existed from May 2, 1843 until March 3, 1849. Created at a time when no country had sovereignty over the region, this independent government provided a legal system and a common defense for pioneers settling the region. As laid out in Section 1 of the preamble to the Organic Laws of Oregon, which were adopted in 1843 to serve as a constitution, settlers only agreed to the laws until such time as the United States of America extend their jurisdiction over us. The government had three branches that included a legislature, judiciary, and executive branch. The executive branch was first the Executive Committee, consisting of three members, in effect from 1843 to 1845; in 1845, a single governor position was created. The judicial branch had a single supreme judge along with several lower courts, and a legislative committee of nine served as a legislature until 1845 when the Oregon House of Representatives was established. A series of meetings were held, beginning in 1841, at Champoeg (on the French Prairie) and a few other sites in the Willamette Valley. The first meetings were held, in part, as a response to the death of Ewing Young. Young died without a will, and had extensive business dealings with many other pioneers; a probate court was needed to administer his estate. In February 1841, a probate judge and a few other positions were appointed, but no further movement towards establishing a government occurred.

From the supplier: The service efforts and accomplishments (SEA) report is a process used by the Office of the City Auditor in Portland, OR, to define, collect, audit and report information on government performance on the city's police, fire, parks and recreation, water, wastewater and transportation services. The SEA report has benefited program management, the budgeting process and public accountability. It is a useful tool for managing urban programs and is an aid in designing reports for performance. Further experimentation will help in finding effective ways to measure government performance.

Product Description
The Champoeg Meetings in Oregon Country were the first attempts at governing in the Pacific Northwest by United States European-American pioneers. Prior to this, the closest entity to a government was the Hudson's Bay Company, mainly through Dr. John McLoughlin at Fort Vancouver in present day Vancouver, Washington. There were a series of meetings over three years held at Champoeg on the French Prairie along the Willamette River in present day Marion County, Oregon, beginning in 1841. A small but growing number of pioneers were settling in the Willamette Valley where no Euro-American government was in place. With the death of prominent settler Ewing Young in 1841, a group of settlers began to advocate for a settler run government in the region. These meetings at Champoeg culminated in a vote on May 2, 1843, with a vote of 52-50 in favor of forming what became the Provisional Government of Oregon. Although primarily supported by the American pioneers in the region, several French-Canadian settlers did vote in favor of forming the government. ... Read more
