Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Robert E. Hickson was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1884. He studied at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon, graduating with a degree in Civil Engineering in 1909. Upon graduation, he entered the services of the Army Corps of Engineers, North Pacific Division, working at their offices in Portland, Oregon. His early engineering experience included railway work in Bend, Oregon; work on the Celilo boat canal; and irrigation development in the Bend area.
Beginning in the 1920s, R. E. Hickson began work on his largest project yet: widening and improving the shipping channel on the Columbia River. This work would eventually define his career. Indeed, he came to be called "Mr. Columbia River" by his colleagues for his extensive work in this regard which included: builiding a system of jetties at the mouth of the Columbia; widening the shipping channel to 35 feet; and protecting the banks of the Columbia from flooding and erosion. This work revolutionized commercial shipping on the Columbia River which had previously been dangerous and unprofitable.
His other notable projects include: work on Bonneville, McNary and The Dalles Dams; maintenance and improvement of Portland's harbors; consultation on construction of a shipping channel for Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela; and work on the Columbia River Bridge in Astoria, known as the Astoria-Megler Bridge. At the time of his retirement in 1955, Robert Hickson was the Chief Engineer for the Army Corps of Engineers, North Pacific Division. After his retirement, he continued to work as a consultant on Army Corps projects until shortly before his death in 1966.
The collection also includes memorabilia from R. E. Hickson's wife, Jessie Mae Hickson, nee Barzee. Mae Hickson was born in 1886 in Oregon. She graduated from Philomath High School in 1905 and attended the University of Oregon from 1905-1909 where she graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Education. She met Robert Hickson at the University and they married a few years after finishing school. Mae Hickson passed away in 1965, one year before her husband.
