Few figures in the history of the American West are as deserving of the legend surrounding them as is Chief Joseph. Yet the true story of his role during the Nez Perce War -- which involved 800 outnumbered and outgunned Nez Perce battling the U.S. Army across some 1,400 miles of the Western frontier during the summer of 1877 -- spent more than a century wrapped in heroic tales, historical errors, faulty memories, and wishful thinking. But because even the misconceptions and mistakes surrounding both the man and the war are part of the whole story -- in fact, are often stories in themselves -- legends as well as facts are pulled together here as pieces of a narrative involving one of the most extraordinary men and most remarkable journeys in the history of the West -- Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce War. In addition to new material, this volume contains nine titles previously published as separate books, including Battle of the Grande Ronde, The Death of Wind Blowing, The Pursuit & Capture of Chief Joseph, Chief Joseph as a Commander, Nez Perce Exile, Chief Joseph's Own Story, General Howard's Own Story, From Where the Sun Now Stands, and Gift of a Horse. ISBN 978-1-930111-78-3, 149 pages, 8.5x11 inches, trade paper, numerous historical photographs and illustrations, maps, extras, index. $27.00 cover price. First printing June 11, 2010 • Available to bookstores June 30, 2010 |

Till Broad DaylightA History of Early Settlement in Oregon's Tillamook Countyby Warren N. Vaughn "Till Broad Daylight is a delightful book, with humor, history, and interesting facts." The Dayton Tribune Wedged between the Coast Range and the Pacific Ocean, the Tillamook country of Oregon's north coast was once days away by either boat or foot from the nearest settlement, a land of isolation and ruggedness in which families faced a life of hardship on the edge of a wilderness. Here there formed a community of stouthearted farmers and tradesmen who refused to let circumstances control their lives. For example, when no ships were available to bring in supplies or carry out crops, they built their own -- the Morning Star of Tillamook. In this book written by Warren N. Vaughn, one of Tillamook's first settlers, the area's history unfolds as a tale of people struggling to make a life for themselves along a frontier that few could reach and even fewer endure. In this way, it's a story of courage and survival, of tenacity and ingenuity. But mostly it's a story of people who faced the adversity in their lives by pulling out the fiddles, pushing back the tables and chairs, and then throwing themselves a dance that lasted "till broad daylight." ISBN 1-930111-41-X, 99 pages, 8.5x11 inches, trade paper, maps, historical photographs, appendix, index, $17.00 cover price. |

Untamed LandThe Death of Pete French & the End of the Old WestIn the summer of 1872 when he finally reined in his horse at the end of five hundred dusty miles, twenty-three-year-old Pete French found himself on the edge of a land untamed, unclaimed, and open to any man with enough grit to fight for it -- a fight he would spend the next quarter-century trying to win before dying with his boots on, shot from the saddle and launched into legend as the target of a homesteader's quick trigger finger. In that relentless twenty-five-year quest to build a cattle empire, French found himself battling the land, the laws, and the people living at a crossroads of history that marked the end of one era and the beginning of another: the fall of the cattle king and the rise of the homesteader in the American West. In this way, the story of Pete French is not so much the biography of a man as it is a history of his era, a world of Indians, buckaroos, and homesteaders in a day when big ranchers seemed as large as the land they tried to conquer, until the arrival of determined people searching for better lives eventually overwhelmed them. ISBN 1-930111-59-2, 137 pages, 8.5x11 inches, trade paper, 84 photographs, 37 maps, 8 illustrations, bibliography and index. $25.00 cover price. |

Frontier CavalrymanLt. William Carey Brown's Letters from Fort Klamath, Oregon, 1878-1880Transcribed & Edited by Cath Clark Introduction by Richard W. Helbock "Frontier Cavalryman is a fascinating journey into times past." Herald and News Soon after graduating from West Point in 1877 and receiving his assignment to one of the far-flung corners of the West at Oregon's Fort Klamath, Second Lieutenant William Carey Brown began a lifetime of adventure and service in the U.S. Army. "This roving life suits me quite well just now," he wrote in an 1879 letter to his family. "I am seeing plenty of new country, people, and having plenty of 'experience' -- enough that if I were a writer I think I could get up an interesting book." Even though Lt. Brown never wrote that book, the numerous letters he left behind-more than fifty appear in this volume-serve much the same purpose, giving us a glimpse into what seems today to have been a long-ago time and a faraway land, a personal view of what it was to serve as a soldier on the Western frontier. While stationed at Fort Klamath from 1878-1880, a period that saw the end of the Indian wars in the Pacific Northwest, Lt. Brown wrote frequently to his mother, father, and sisters living in Denver, Colorado. Taken as a whole, this collection opens a door into the life and times of a man who devoted himself to the service of his country in a career that spanned four decades, stretching from the Indian campaigns through World War I. Yet even more important, those letters also give us a human connection to a chapter in Northwest history as they convey a sense of what life was like for a frontier cavalryman.

Days of SorrowThe Story of the Heppner Flood of 1903: Oregon's Most Deadly Natural DisasterFor more than a thousand people living in the town of Heppner, Oregon, in the year 1903, the end of the world began with a gathering of clouds in the southern sky. Soon the rain poured, the creeks rose, and a torrent of water roared toward town. "Days of Sorrow in Heppner," proclaimed the headline of the Heppner Gazette, which carried the story of the flood that tore through the community on a summer evening. "Without a second's warning, a leaping, foaming wall of water, 40 feet in height, struck Heppner at about 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, sweeping everything before it and leaving only death and destruction in its wake." When it was over, the flood had swept away the lives of more than 200 people as well as 140 homes and 30 businesses. Yet even though the story of the flood is a tale of death and loss and heartbreak, it's also one of courage, as two men raced their horses against the water, galloping downstream to warn other towns; of compassion, as people from around the Northwest donated food, medicine, and labor to the rescue; and of endurance, as the survivors buried their dead, restored their town, and rebuilt their lives. ISBN 1-930111-21-5, 108 pages, 8.5x11 inches, trade paper, maps, photographs, appendix, bibliography. $22.00 cover price. |

A Wild Night RideTwo Men's Heroic Race Against the Heppner Flood of 1903by Leslie L. Matlock and O.M. Yeager When a June cloudburst unleashed a wall of water and debris that almost destroyed Heppner, Oregon, in 1903, a tale of heroism seemed to rise from the rubble the flood left behind. That story involved two men, Bruce Kelley and Leslie Matlock, who saddled their horses and raced the floodwaters down the Willow Creek Valley to warn the ranchers and townspeople who stood in its path. It was an event that made nationwide news and almost immediately took the shape of a legend. Now three different versions of that episode make up A Wild Night Ride, the story of one of the most deadly natural disasters ever to strike the region and of the two men who rode into Northwest history. Part of the Northwest Classics Series. ISBN 1-930111-23-1, 43 pages, 7x8.5 inches, trade paper, maps, photographs, appendix. $8.00 cover price. Will be out-of-print when current stock is sold. |

The Elk KillersThe Near Destruction & Ultimate Rescue of Elk in the American West"The words and deeds of frontier hunters take root in Highberger's story and grow into a living history tale, transporting us as good literature does, enabling us to feel as if we're living those times." Bugle magazine Beginning in the mid-19th century, three waves of killers rode across the plains and mountains of the American West -- the hide hunters, who killed game for the skins; the pot hunters, who killed for the meat; and the tusk hunters, who killed for the teeth. Together they carried out the systematic slaughter of millions of animals. Now The Elk Killers tells the story of those days when the West's buffalo and elk were hunted almost to extinction. By 1900, for instance, only 500 buffalo were left from herds that once numbered as many as 300 million animals, and less than one-half of one percent of America's original 10 million elk, which once roamed from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to Mexico, survived in a handful of Western states. Yet the story has a happy ending when conservationists restore elk to their former homes in parts of the West. In fact, some of the first elk transplanted from Wyoming's Jackson Hole came by train to northeast Oregon's Wallowa County in 1912, and the herds that resulted soon grew strong enough to provide elk for other parts of the Northwest. ISBN 1-930111-19-3, 59 pages, 7x8.5 inches, trade paper, maps, photographs, illustrations, bibliography, index. $9.00 cover price. Will be out-of-print when current stock is sold. |

Homesteading the Oregon DesertBy the hundreds they came, in horse-drawn wagons and Model T Fords, following a dream that today seems doomed from the start -- to build their farms and their futures in Oregon's high desert. Even though the land was free, this new wave of pioneers who arrived in the first years of the twentieth century found they paid a dear price for their homesteads. "It usually took five years for a man to arrive," said one of the homesteaders, "build a house, fence some land, break it, put in a crop, wait in vain to harvest it, lose his money, get tired of jackrabbit stew, and leave." Yet in spite of their failures -- no matter where they staked their claims across the high desert of the country's last frontier -- these desert homesteaders became part of the story, as well as the spirit, of the American West. ISBN 978-1-930-111-47-7, 116 pages, 8.5x11 inches, trade paper, numerous maps, historical photographs, bibliography, index. $20.00 cover price. |

Road of DifficultiesBuilding the Lower Columbia River Highway"Fascinating but little-known history, terrific historic photos, a book that's great for armchair travelers and people wanting to explore a forgotten highway." Herald and News "The road is mostly gone now, but, thanks to Taylor, it's not forgotten." The Bulletin "Thoroughly researched, well organized...It will likely remain the key source of information about building the Lower Columbia River Highway for future researchers. For Oregon travelers, the book is simply a good read." Oregon Historical Quarterly Nominated for the Oregon Book Award in General Nonfiction, 2008From Portland to the Pacific once ran a road that climbed mountains and crossed rivers, an engineering marvel and a scenic wonder that carried travelers across some of the most rugged land in the Northwest. But as the age of the Model T slipped away, so did the highway, until it was erased from the landscape and soon forgotten -- until now. In spite of its short life, the story of the Lower Columbia River Highway -- the twin of the famous upper route that winds through the Columbia Gorge -- is one of determination and conflict, of technological genius and artistic vision that came together to create a seemingly impossible road to the sea.

Somewhere in OregonGems of State History"Pat Wilkins is a fine storyteller. This is a collection of his best, and I envy you if you're about to experience Pat's stories for the first time." Paul Linnman, author of The Exploding Whale: And Other Remarkable Stories from the Evening News "The stories are delightful for both newcomers and fifth-generation Northwesterners." The Chronicle "A good book! Interesting, compelling." West Side Newspaper "Offers fascinating peeks at odd tales and leaves readers craving for more. Much more." Herald and News "Wilkins has a way with a tale. The collection is a pleasant stroll through the myths, history and people of the Northwest." East Oregonian "Wilkins' stories are informative, often fascinating, and sometimes infused with the touch of the poet." Statesman Journal Through four decades, Pat Wilkins was a familiar face and voice to thousands of Northwest television viewers who tuned in his newscasts, yet Wilkins' true calling lay outside the studio and along the less-traveled roads of Oregon. Here, far beyond the usual range of TV cameras and crews, Wilkins searched for the people, places, and events that shaped what a colleague calls "his first love, feature reporting." In following this love, Wilkins spent twenty years of his working life on the road, roaming the countryside in search of stories that capture the history and heart of the region. "Kind of like Charles Kuralt," he says, "but with a smaller territory." Contained within these pages are thirty of Wilkins' favorite stories, gems of state history, that he discovered while traveling somewhere in Oregon. ISBN 978-1-930111-55-4, 82 pages, trade paper, maps, historical and contemporary photographs, drawings. $16.00 cover price. |

Looking Back at the Oregon CoastA Photographic JourneyThe sea may be timeless, but those things that stand beside it -- rocks, dunes, roads, towns, and so much more -- sometimes seem to change almost as rapidly as the tides themselves. What the Oregon coast looked like, say, 120 years ago is uncertain, save for scattered descriptions mined from mariners' logs, explorers' journals, and settlers' diaries. Move ahead a bit toward the end of the nineteenth century, however, and you find professional photographers lugging hundreds of pounds of cameras, chemicals, and glass plates to numerous beaches to capture thousands of, well, Kodak moments, which didn't actually come along until 1888, when the first Kodak camera hit the market along with the slogan, "You press the button -- we do the rest." It was the birth of the snapshot and a big reason -- along with one-cent picture postcards-that we now have more than a century-old photographic record of our beloved coast, from seashore waders to main streets, river tours to train depots, resort hotels to campgrounds. Such rare images (this book contains more than 140 of them) comprise a photographic journey across both time and space, dating back more than 100 years -- the earliest photo is from the 1860s and the latest from the 1930s, with the majority coming from the time of Model T's and one-piece bathing suits -- and stretching across approximately 400 miles from Astoria on the Columbia River to Brookings near the California line, with a few side trips in between. ISBN 978-1-930111-66-0, 81 pages, 8.5x11 inches, trade paper, 145 historical photographs, 10 maps, index. $20.00 cover price. |

Through the pages of Oregon history step those who have shaped its land, its laws, and its destiny -- Native people and distant mariners, trappers and settlers, miners and loggers, cowboys and soldiers, and many others. From the coming of the horse to the celebration of the state’s centennial, their stories are told here through a chronology that covers more than 400 years, and that illuminates some of the details that make up Oregon Times (a companion volume to Oregon Life, below). ISBN 978-1-930111-76-9, 89 pages, trade paper, historical photographs, maps, and illustrations. $18.00 cover price. |

This is a book of thoughtful recollections from folks who lived through their share of Oregon history. Their stories -- which date to as early as the covered-wagon days -- are the result of the Federal Writers Project, a government program begun during the Great Depression of the 1930s, when a group of writers were sent across the United States to track down people who might know something first-hand about what it was like to live in an older America. Those who visited Oregon talked with people who had many different experiences during their long lifetimes. Unfortunately, these interviews were never published—until now. his collection -- first published in the year of Oregon’s 150th birthday and 70 years after the last Oregon interview took place -- offers readers a compelling, human view of the struggles and joys and labors that once made up Oregon Life (a companion volume to Oregon Times, above). ISBN 978-1-930111-77-6, 103 pages, trade paper, index. $18.00 cover price. |

Looking Back at the Columbia GorgeA Photographic Journey"This album of photos from the early 1900s is a fascinating journey through time and space." East Oregonian For thousands of years after ice age floods had gouged it into a land of plunging waterfalls and thundering rapids, the Columbia River Gorge remained a wilderness crossed only by foot paths and horse trails. And then along came Samuel C. Lancaster. Beginning in the second decade of the twentieth century, Lancaster set out to do what many believed could not be done -- build a highway through the Columbia Gorge. A "broad thoroughfare," he called it, "a frame to the beautiful picture which God created." When the Columbia River Highway was finished -- all 73.8 miles, 18 bridges, 7 viaducts, 3 tunnels, and 2 footbridges combined into the first major paved road in the Pacific Northwest -- Lancaster had created a masterpiece that many considered a work of art as well as an engineering marvel. "The best of all great highways in the world, glorified!" exclaimed the Illustrated London News. "It is the king of roads!" To recapture those days of almost a century ago, this book takes you on a journey from west to east along the old highway in a time when the Columbia River still ran free, the means of travel was the Model T, and the Gorge and its road were treasures worth keeping forever. ISBN 1-930111-52-5, 97 pages, 8.5x11 inches, trade paper, maps, photographs. $22.00 cover price. |

Looking Back at Main Street Eastern OregonA Visit to More Than 100 Towns Across More Than 100 Years"This book is a true treasure." Statesman-Journal Through the decades it has gone by many names and has shown many faces. But whether it's called Wall Street in Bend or Adams Avenue in La Grande, Broadway in Burns or Highway 82 in Lostine, Main Street once was, and in many cases still is, the heart of virtually every community located east of Oregon's Cascade Range. After all, it was here that people gathered to fill the larder, hop the stage, grab a beer, get a haircut, shoe a horse, court a beau, or just spend some time in the company of long-distance neighbors who helped make tolerable the life of toil and seclusion waiting back home on the farm or ranch. Yet Main Street in Eastern Oregon was sometimes not a street all. In fact, in the earliest days of settlement it often consisted of nothing more than a store or saloon, a stagestop or hotel. And when these were gone, so was the town. As a result, some of the photographs in this book are of places that survive only in memory or history or as names on a map (though some have even vanished from maps), while others have grown into small cities. But whether the 101 towns shown in these pages are gone or thriving or situated somewhere in between, all of them have for a moment opened a door to their past and invited us in for a visit, for some time spent Looking Back at Main Street Eastern Oregon. ISBN 1-930111-53-3, 109 pages, 8.5x11 inches, trade paper, 126 historical photographs, 101 maps. $22.00 cover price. |

The Laws of WarA Story of the Modoc War of 1873They were the Modocs, a people whose mythology assured them, "Though you may be few, even if many and many people come against you, you will kill them." When that mythic promise took shape on the battlefields of the Modoc War in 1873, it generated one of the costliest conflicts of America's western frontier. The six month campaign to defeat some 50 Modoc warriors and their families found the army deploying more than 1,200 troops and suffering more than 160 civilian and military casualties. But then a fateful decision on the part of Modoc leader Captain Jack led him to his own execution and his people into exile -- all in accordance with "the laws of war." "I never realized what a horrible thing war is," said an army lieutenant who fought in the Modoc campaign, "until I came out on this trip." Part of the Northwest History Series.

General Howard's Own StoryA Story of the Beginning of the Nez Perce Warby Major General Oliver Otis Howard A companion volume and personal rebuttal to Chief Joseph's Own Story, this book presents the viewpoint of General Howard, who led the U.S. Army's campaign against the Nez Perce in the war of 1877. "Chief Joseph's tale appeared to reflect unfavorably upon my official conduct," he wrote in 1879. "Now permit me to present a few simple facts which will show whether, in manner or matter, I have failed to meet the requirements of the situation." Part of the Northwest Classics Series. ISBN 1-930111-12-6, 27 pages, 7x8.5 inches, trade paper, map, photographs. $7.00 cover price. Will be out-of-print when current stock is sold. |

Behind the Nez Perce WarLetters and Reports Tracing the Beginning of the Epic 1877 ConflictAlthough this book was originally intended for historians and researchers as possibly the first bound collection of historical correspondences tracing the beginnings of the Nez Perce War, it soon became clear that these accounts from army officers, Indian agents, and government administrators are extremely readable, sometimes lively, and often entertaining. In these pages you'll find no ranting about "heathen savages" on the "warpath," no glowing accounts of pioneer heroism in the face of insurmountable odds--only the most "officially" reliable information of the day in the form of reports and letters from army officers, Indian agents, and government administrators-documents that not only describe the situation leading to that epic 1877 conflict, but also reveal some of the humanity and the drama behind the Nez Perce War. ISBN 978-1-930111-72-1, 93 pages, 8.5x11 inches, trade paper, historical photographs, maps. $17.00 cover price. |

Ezra Meeker's Oregon TrailOne Man's Historic Journey to Save the Oregon TrailAfter traveling by covered wagon to the Northwest in 1852, Ezra Meeker found himself 54 years later, at the age of 76, following the same route backwards, east to his boyhood home in Indiana. It was a long journey with a serious purpose -- to save the Oregon Trail. At the time, the Trail had almost vanished. Cut by plows, eroded by weather, and covered with highways and towns, the route the pioneers had used in what was perhaps the largest human migration in world history had been reduced to a dim memory, a situation Ezra was determined to change. And so traveling in a covered wagon pulled by two oxen, Ezra stopped along the way to make speeches, raise money, and erect more than twenty monuments that marked the path of the old pioneers and kept alive the old Oregon Trail. Part of the Northwest History Series. ISBN 1-930111-30-4, 51 pages, 7x8.5 inches, trade paper, map, historical photographs. $9.00 cover price. Will be out-of-print when current stock is sold. |

The Long Road to LonesomevilleA Guide to Small Town Eastern Oregon"It's a great book that's too short." East Oregonian For travelers who want to explore the quieter places and simpler times found in eastern Oregon's small towns, for those who want to visit communities that stand alone and sometimes lonesome along the region's backroads and blue highways, The Long Road to Lonesomeville has arrived to serve as a guide. Yet the road to any Lonesomeville is long only in terms of the time it holds. Here the tick of a clock, the arc of the sun, and the flow of the seasons seem to slow down and wait for you.

And those who take the journey will find places that show us what we once were, not long ago, in the morning of our lives.
