Edna Isabel Protzman

“ She had ready wit and a keen sense of humor, and greatly enjoyed those writers possessed of this rare gift, especially Barrie and Ian MacLaren. Artistic in taste, deft with her needle and by nature charmingly domestic, she was withal a woman's woman. ”

“ Victor, authorized by the legislature, compiled a history of the early Oregon Indian wars, which was published the following year. Her contributions to the Overland Monthly and to the Oregon Historical Quarterly were of great value. Mrs. Victor's style of writing was graceful, and, by her pen, dull facts were made interesting. Laboring weeks and months at a time, she found in her work a pleasure that more than compensated for all the ills of life. ”
