Railroading in southern Oregon and the founding of Medford by Bert Webber, Margie Webber

Railroading in Southern Oregon and the Founding of Medford by regional historians Bert and Margie Webber is a 1985 transportation and local history book published by Ye Galleon Press in Fairfield, Washington. The volume extensively chronicles the profound economic and geographical impact the arrival of the Oregon and California Railroad had on the Rogue River Valley in the late 19th century. The authors detail how the railroad bypass of the established pioneer town of Jacksonville directly catalyzed the establishment and rapid boom of Medford, shifting the political and commercial center of gravity in Jackson County. Heavily illustrated with archival photographs and historical rail data, the book ultimately serves as an authoritative and highly specific resource for understanding how early railroad expansion dictated the civic landscape, settlement patterns, and industrial growth of southern Oregon.
