Críticas:

"Mahoney did a very good job researching this book and was also tireless in her analysis of existing works published about the clique...Mahoney's writing style and storytelling abilities will make this publication appealing [in the classroom and] to the general reader wanting to find out more about the territorial and early statehood periods of Oregon's history." -Mike Mackey, Pacific Northwest Quarterly

Reseña del editor:

During the decade of the 1850s, the Oregon Territory progressed toward statehood in an atmosphere of intense political passion and conflict. Editors of rival newspapers blamed a group of young men whom they named the ""Salem Clique" for the bitter party struggles of the time. Led by Asahel Bush, editor of the Oregon Statesman, the Salem Clique was accused of dictatorship, corruption, and the intention of imposing slavery on the Territory. Although the Salem Clique has been given considerable prominence in nearly every account of Oregon's Territorial period, there has not been a detailed study of its role until now.
