About this postcard

A multi-view Oregon souvenir card presenting the state flag, state seal, state capitol, Crater Lake, Multnomah Falls, the Oregon grape (state flower), Mt. Hood and the meadow lark (state bird) around the printed lyrics of the "Oregon Song." Crater Lake, shown at top center, is the deep caldera lake in southern Oregon that became the state's only national park in 1902, while Mt. Hood is Oregon's highest peak and Multnomah Falls a celebrated cascade in the Columbia River Gorge. The capitol pictured is the 1938 building in Salem, and the Oregon grape and meadow lark are among the state emblems adopted in the 1890s and 1920s.

785 STATE FLAG CRATER LAKE STATE SEAL OREGON SONG Music by Isa Botton Words by Walter E. Meacham Oregon, oh Oregon, out where the tall trees grow, Oregon, oh Oregon, the state you ought to know. Oregon, oh Oregon, majestic ranges high, Fishing streams and mountain lakes, where snowcaps touch the sky. Oregon, oh Oregon, With valleys broad and fair, Romance rides on ev'ry breeze And roses scent the air. Oregon, oh Oregon, The land our fathers won; Oh come and live in Paradise; In dear old Oregon. Oregon, oh Oregon, Your highways are most grand, Beaches fair beyond compare Beside the sunset strand. Oregon, oh Oregon, Your rivers deep and wide, Latent wealth of energy Within their depths they hide. STATE CAPITOL MULTNOMAH FALLS OREGON GRAPE STATE FLOWER MT.
