Book
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. This work, first published in 1961, is the inspirational autobiography of Sonora Webster Carver (1904-2003) -one of the first female "horse divers"- and who would become a nationwide sensation. Horse-diving, where the horse climbs a 40 to 60 foot tower and, as the platform drops, the horse and rider plunge to a deep water-filled pool below, is exciting for spectators but can be dangerous to the performers. In 1931, while delighting fans across the country, tragedy struck as Sonora hit the water at an awkward angle, detaching both her retinas and leaving her blind. However, Sonora would continue to dive horses until 1942. Included are 16 pages of photographs. Sonora Carver's story was the basis of the 1991 Disney movie Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken. Available for immediate shipment, carefully packed in a sturdy box!.

Folio. 8.5 x 14 in. 2 leaves typescript, w/ manuscript annotations. This tidy archive of original land documents, plat maps, and letters not only includes autographed documents from early Oregon pioneers, but also traces the development of a small Columbia County town from the 1870's through 1940, when Marshland, OR still retained a train station, post office, and even general store. The documents open chronologically with Alba Woodward (1843-1902) a Minnesota Civil War veteran arranging to purchase several plots of Pacific County land from Oregon pioneers William Lingenfelter (1830-1917) and his wife Mary (1843-1904), in three installments from 1877 through 1881 for a total of $ 9000 in gold coins, broken up for a couple years with Woodward returning to the Indian Territory (later Oklahoma) for three years. As indicated by the Township survey directions and BLM records, the lands were located along Skunk Cabbage Ridge above Tandy Creek near present-day Colvin Road, West of Clatskanie and above Marshland Road, near where the SP&S Railway would later construct their line to Astoria. Two of these documents are signed by William Lingenfelter who had come Overland to the Oregon Territory in 1851 with the L. Helms emigrant wagon train, first settling in Aurora, and then Columbia County by 1863 where he operated a salmon fishing & canning operation -- one of only three men at the time who held the secret of safely preserving salmon in cans. He later became a dairy farmer and moved his operation to Ilwaco, W.T. after selling his Marshland properties to Woodward. His wife Mary Catherine Bryant had crossed the plains in on the Oregon trail in 1852, settled in Washington County, and married Lingenfelter after he mustered out from the Indian Wars in Oregon in 1858. Woodward rapidly sets up his successful dairy & cattle ranching operation, with enough success that by 1887 he was able to return to Minnesota where he marries Lizzie Ann Henderson (1865-1939), older sister to Harriett Henderson Curtis (1869-1956) whose sons Asahel, Edward, and George Curtis became renowned Pacific Northwest photographers. In addition, he also begins developing land in Montavilla near East Portland where he builds Woodward Hall, before dying from blood poisoning after being injured while trying to thaw his frozen pipes in the winter of 1901-1902. Alba had also purchased additional land from Albert Tichenor (1832-1911), former Marshland Postmaster until Dec., 1882, and then sawmill owner and operator. Lizzie continued operating the Woodward landholdings, and by 1912 appears to have arranged with R.B. Magruder and the Lower Columbia Agricultural Co. the development of Marshland as a town next to the SP&S Railway tracks, with street names indicative of the family including Henderson St., Woodward Dr., Minnesota, Oklahoma Ave., and Maryland Ave. Magruder (1867-1930) had begun as a sales agent for the John A. Roebling Sons Co. of Trenton, NJ responsible for building the Brooklyn Bridge, and had been sent to Portland, OR and Seattle, WA to establish branches of the company. Instead he became interested in the reclamation of lands on the lower Columbia River in Marshland near Clatskanie and formed a syndicate to acquire the land. Incorporated as the Lower Columbia Agricultural Co. with E.S. Collins, P.J. Brix, A.J. Byerly, Albert Brix and Asmus Brix, the company employed the substantial resources of the Brix logging and maritime company to begin dredging, diking, and ditching out the Columbia River. They manage to acquire 14,000 acres, added to it substantially by using the dredge Skookum, and as evidenced by the detailed Abstract of Title included in this archive succeeded through a massive lawsuit in 1915 to clear out many different claimed landowners who were claiming fertile farmland through adverse possession, lienholders, and others in their newly created dike district. The Abstract of Title, No. 5192 compiled by the Columbia County Abstract Co. offers an invaluable local history reference filled with 100's of names, properties, and locations of the current heirs, as well as often occupations, and references to relatives and trusts. A 1915 typed letter and mortgage documents clearly indicate that Magruder had inadvertently turned over some title to lands to Lizzie Woodward Tandy and her new husband Thomas Tandy (1869-1940), local school teacher who had lived in Portland near the widow.
