    Hi

    A couple years ago, someone on another list, suggested anyone interested 
in Oregon history to read "Thunder Over the Ochoco" by Gale Ontko.  There 
are five volume, Volume 1 - The Gathering Storm, Volume II - Distance 
Thunder, Volume III - Lightning Strikes, Volume IV - Rain of Tears, and 
Volume V - And the Jumpier Trees Bore Fruit.  These books helped me to 
understand the early history of Oregon and not the history I was taught in 
school.

    As I read those book, I was sadden by the fact that people of all races, 
out of greed or self preservation got rid of anything or any person in their 
way.  It was "man against man", no matter the color of the skin.

    I suggest you read these book.  I am sure you can find them at your 
library.  I happen to buy them at my local book store.
