John Andrew Buchanan, Oregon, My Oregon (1920)
“ You can download the audio file. Land of the Empire Builders, Land of the Golden West; Conquered and held by free men, Fairest and the best. Onward and upward ever, Forward and on, and on; Hail to thee, Land of Heroes, My Oregon. Land of the rose and sunshine Land of the summer's breeze; Laden with health and vigor, Fresh from the Western seas. Blest by the blood of martyrs, Land of the setting sun; Hail to thee, Land of Promise, My Oregon. This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in 1920, before the cutoff of January 1, 1928. ”
