The author states that the purpose of this book is to "identify and describe the scores of mills that populated the shores of Coos Bay from the 1850s to the 1960s; to record how these mills came into existence, then drifted into history; and to tell the stories of the entrepreneurs who made it all happen."--Dust jacket
