On October 27, 1997 Oregon enacted the Death with Dignity Act which allows terminally-ill Oregonians to end their lives through the voluntary self-administration of lethal medications, expressly prescribed by a physician for that purpose (ProCon.org).

They eventually meet the Reeds, Donners among others. At the time a book named “The Emigrants’ Guide to Oregon and California” had been published by the lawyer Lansford Hastings who had traveled across Oregon and California.

Dear Dr. Smurfts Randolph, What better way to spend spring break than to visit the Lava Beds in California and Oregon! Your fellow staff and students have been wondering if it would be a good idea if we could take all 8th grade students to visit the Lava Beds National Monument located near the California and Oregon state border.

Rupert Wainwright delivers an intriguing story about a town on an island in Oregon. With decent cinematgrhopy that's all the movie really had. The movie lacked good characters that didn't pull me in. These people actually got paid to act in this?
