As an Oregonian saw us - a variation of 'ourselves as others see us'... from the Portland Oregonian ; 1902 / A.W. Miller.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/693957747

Unsentimental essay discussing negative impressions of Charleston, S.C., during the author's visit to the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition (1901-1902); presumably in an effort to spur improvements, the News and Courier of Charleston reprinted the comments for readers in South Carolina. The author takes issue with the health conditions, the reluctance to accept change, state of race relations, and a strain of provincialism noted even among well-educated residents, who expressed greater familiarity with European geography than that of the United States; originally published a newspaper in the Pacific northwest, the essay appeared later reprinted in the Charleston News and Courier (17 June 1902). Historian John Hammond Moore transcribed this copy; note: "3-7 June, the [Portland] Oregonian [newspaper] prints an extensive analysis of the Charleston Expo[sition] by a staff member (A.H.)... and on the 7th this letter by Miller [appeared, which was]... reprinted 10 days later in the News and Courier" of Charleston.
