New Era: Reflections on the Human and Natural History of Central Oregon

New Era is a graceful and literate collection of personal essay on the human and natural history of the Oregon high desert, focusing on what happened to the people and the land of this region during and after the homesteading era of 1900 to 1920. It is a book full of stories - about early Indian/Anglo connections, about the ghost town of Opal City, about homestead ranches and the families who struggled to make their lives there.
