The History is not the usual collections of anecdotes and just-so stories.It is the result of around twenty years of research through books, academic articles, microfilm newspapers and census data, and hundreds of hours pouring through archived documents in the County Courthouse(mining claims, court cases, deeds, etc.). Everything in this history islinked to something that may be checked by reader, if they so chose.

About the Author:

George R. Mead began to study anthropology in 1962 after being discharged (honorably) from the U. S. Army, Combat Engineers. He eventually received a B.A., M. A., and Ph. D. in his chosen field. And many years later an M. S. W. in Clinical Social Work. He has worked in aerospace, taught at the college and university levels, worked in a community action agency, ran a restaurant, been unemployed, and worked for the U. S. Forest Service. He is now retired from the work-a-day world but does a certain amount of consulting, writing, and research. He lives seven miles outside of the small town of La Grande, Oregon, with his wife, one cat, and a German Shepard dog named Katy who firmly believes that staring into his face at nine-o-clock in the evening is a statement that popcorn should be made. She has been joined by Rez that Katy found as an abandoned puppy in the desert.
