Book excerpt: A Twisting Journey describes a high country backroads trip following and intersecting the Pacific Crest Trail in Southern Oregon from California to Willamette Pass. It's filled with detailed descriptions of the sights, attractions, and human and natural histories along the way. Divided into four regions, each representing about a day's exploration, the book provides a seamless road route that parallels the Pacific Crest Trail through some of Southern Oregon's most scenic high country. For hikers, the guide provides an easy reference showing each place the PCT intersects a road with trail miles and elevations included. Several day-hikes along the way are also illustrated.Starting in the historic gold mining town of Jacksonville, Oregon the route crosses the 7,000 foot high Siskiyou Mountains and meets up with the Pacific Crest Trail at the point it enters Oregon from California. The road heads east from there with many opportunities to admire the stunning alpine wildflowers and sweeping views of Southern Ortegon and Northern California. After an exploration of the interesting city of Ashland, Oregon we hook-up with the Cascade Mountains driving past many lakes of vaying size including Oregon's largest natural lake (Klamath Lake) and around the rim of Oregon's only National Park, Crater Lake.The fun continues at beautiful Diamond Lake. A popular place to camp and fish, it's one of the Cascades most productive trout fisheries. Six waterfalls of significant size are included in the descriptions and lie to the north along the Umpqua River. The twisting way continues north through some of the quietest country in the Cascade Range passing by many more lakes and the headwaters of the mighty Willamette River before delivering the traveler to Willamette Pass.The engaging and detailed guide includes historical and geological background and tips on fishing the high lakes of the Cascades, boating, camping, day-hikes, and lodging.The color photos and unique hand-drawn maps help hikers and wheeled travelers who wish to learn not only where the trail intersects roads but valuable information about what to expect in the surrounding area.

Download or read book Oregon Country written by Tj Hanson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oregon Trail had its beginnings in 1843 beneath the wagon wheels of the Oregon Emigrating Company, a group of disparate Americans with a common goal: to seek a new land and make it their own. The trail met its end in 1869 with the completion of the transcontinental railway. Oregon Country is a detailed account of the Oregon Migration of 1843 in a "historical fiction" setting. In this context, the reader can enjoy the adventure as a participant, rather than as a student or scholar.During its twenty-five year history, the Oregon Trail essentially changed every year. From its rough beginnings grew an organized route. By 1846 ferries serviced most of the major river crossings, and fully-stocked supply depots awaited hungry travelers. Due to all the livestock driven west, the trail became a mile-wide swath of trampled ground, providing an easy road with no need for a guide. During the summers of 1849 and 1850, over 100,000 miners also followed the Oregon Trail, en route to the California gold fields. By the 1850s, Mormons were using the trail as a source of income, supplying emigrants with food and equipment. As the railroad extended further west, many people took the train as far as they could before switching to the trail.Only the 1843 migration held the true adventure of entering an unknown land. Guides were needed to show the way; dangerous river crossings taxed the courage of everyone; the existing fur trading posts were unable to supply necessary food and other equipment; and the first emigrants had to build their own road because the Oregon Trail did not yet exist. Wagons had never been taken all the way to Oregon, and it was entirely possible that this great experiment might end in tragedy. It is this migration, 1843, to which we often attribute the adventure and romanticism of the Oregon Trail.While researching this book, I found information to be both scarce and scattered, requiring many months to form an outline of the complexity of this event. The popular myth of western migration, championed by film and television, depicts a wagon train of smiling emigrants, traveling down a well-worn road and fighting Indians at every turn. The truth is considerably different.Research sources included the Oregon Historical Society, several Oregon historical libraries, the Oregon State Archives, numerous probate records, military discharge papers, newspaper clippings, trail diaries, and cemetery headstones. I suspect that other sources of information are hidden away in the attics of various descendents, information that is essentially not available to the public. Appendix A provides a listing of the known emigrants that were part of the 1843 Oregon Emigrating Company, along with some brief biographical data. This appendix is nonfiction, providing new knowledge to the scholarly community and, it is hoped, inspiring other researchers to help fill in the gaps.The Oregon Migration of 1843 was a watershed moment in American history. It marked the end of the trapping era and the beginnings of civilization on the Western frontier. You are about to become part of that experience. Enjoy the journey! --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Book excerpt: NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE Funny and heartbreaking, this New York Times bestselling debut perfectly captures the maddening confusion of adolescence and the prickly nature of family with irony and unerring honesty. Harley Altmyer should be in college having the time of his life. He should be free from the backwards Pennsylvania coal town he calls home, with its lack of jobs and no sense of humor. Instead, he’s constantly reminded of just how messed up everything is... Harley’s mother is in prison for killing his father, so he’s in charge of bringing up his younger sisters and working two jobs to pay the bills—and that doesn’t leave a lot of time for distractions. But lately, he’s getting more and more sidetracked by lusting after Callie Mercer, his middle-aged neighbor. As he struggles to keep it together, things begin to spin out of control. Soon Harley finds that as shattered as his family is, there are still more crushing surprises in store. “In Harley, O’Dell has created a hero who’s heartbreakingly believable; like Holden Caulfield, he uses caustic humor to hide his pain. Readers will care very much about him and his future, if indeed he has one.”—St. Petersburg Times
