Beskrivelse
The human dream is always there-the dream that says there must be a better life-perhaps even a paradise-somewhere. In his new book, History Snoopin': True Tales of Oregon and Northern California, rather than history on the grand scale of presidents, conquerors, and those endless dates to memorize, William M. Miller tells history on a personal level. His collection of stories take us on a quiet walk or drive to where people-who just happen to be gone-once cried, laughed, and lived their lives-just as we do every day. From pioneers, railroad engineers, fearless aviators, unconquerable women, battle hardened vets, and just one foulmouthed cockatoo-here are stories previously published by a Southern Oregon historian, former reporter, and newspaper history columnist. This book is for the curious history snooper who is fascinated by the past; yet never quite satisfied with what they were told.
