About Henry Pittock
- Henry Lewis Pittock (March 1, 1835 – January 28, 1919) was an English-born American pioneer, publisher, newspaper editor, and wood and paper magnate.
- He was active in Republican politics and Portland, Oregon civic affairs, a Freemason and an avid outdoorsman and adventurer.
- He is frequently referred to as the founder of The Oregonian, although it was an existing weekly before he reestablished it as the state's preeminent daily newspaper. Pittock Mansion, a Renaissance revival mansion built by Pittock for himself and his wife, contemporarily operates as a museum chronicling his and his family's roles in the development of Portland.
