Illahe the story of settlement in the Rogue River canyon by Kay Atwood
Illahe tells the story of the miners, packers, farmers, and families who settled southern Oregon's rugged Rogue River Canyon in the 1860s. Kay Atwood creates a personal picture of what life was like in the remote canyon, drawing on first-person accounts from diaries, journals, and interviews she conducted with descendants of the families who settled the area, most of whom shared Native American and white ancestry. Their stories recount hardships, dangerous river travel, deadly floods, extreme winters, constant isolation, and the self-sufficiency required to survive in this wild, beautiful place. In addition to presenting the words of the homesteaders and their descendants, Atwood has also gathered a treasure trove of rare historic photographs, supplemented by her own drawings and hand-drawn maps. For anyone who has enjoyed the Rogue River canyon and wondered about the history of this national Wild and Scenic Rivers corridor, as well as for readers interested in pioneer history and the settlement of southern Oregon, Illahe offers a fascinating portrait of a truly unique time and place. --Jacket iii, 251 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

Time, tide, and timber a century of Pope & Talbot by Edwin T. Coman, Helen M. Gibbs 
Published in 1949 by Stanford University Press and authored by business historians Edwin T. Coman Jr. and Helen M. Gibbs, Time, Tide, and Timber: A Century of Pope & Talbot is an authorized corporate history chronicling the first hundred years of one of the Pacific Northwest’s most influential timber and shipping conglomerates. Commissioned by the company to commemorate its centennial, the volume traces the enterprise from its modest origins in 1849, when founders Andrew J. Pope and Captain William C. Talbot arrived in Gold Rush San Francisco from East Machias, Maine, to launch a lumber and lighterage business. The text details the firm's subsequent expansion into the Puget Sound region, its establishment of massive sawmills at Port Gamble, its extensive fleet of coastal and transoceanic sailing ships, and its eventual evolution into a sprawling modern corporate empire spanning forestry, real estate, and global maritime trade. 73 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm CIRC [ 1 ]
