Customer Reviews

Fascinating

I disagree with the previous review. I think the charm of this is the verbatim, not heavily edited, interviews. We don't often get stories like this in history books. I'll admit part of the interest for me is that living in Oregon, the names of people and places are so familiar. Learning how Grizzly Peak (at that time called Grizzly Butte) got it's name, how Bandon was named for a town in Ireland, firsthand eyewitness accounts of Indian massacres. A trip over the Siskiyous from Ashland to Yreka for a dance. These are delightful stories. Plenty of action too. I want my own copy to read again and lend.
