Howe, Carrol B Sagebrush to Shakespeare
Graphic Press 1984 softcover used
from the cover: "A book about the people who discovered and developed the region of southern Oregon and northern California. From the first American hunters, who pursued the now extinct elephants and camels, to those who struggled to build the educational and cultural resources such as the Shakesperean Festival. The author brings original information from tape recordings and interviews on the joy of success and heartbreaks along the way to those achievements. The book contains twenty-nine segments, some on ancient Indians, some on historical and economic developments such as the sheep, cattle and lumbering industries. A close look on the way life was in a sheep camp, a logging camp, and on a lake steamboat is portrayed from the experiences of those who lived there." includes photos of:
