Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Black, cloth-covered hardback measuring 11 1/4 in. x 8 3/4 in. x1 1/2 in. Roughly over 300 pp. - most likely more. Text consists of xerographic (?) historical articles, memoirs, recollections of citizens of towns in Union County, Oregon, local lore, genealogical histories, founding family's tales a…nd anecdotes, etc. Sample article titles include: "The Chinese in Union County", by Frank Jasper, February 1960, Family Histories, Indian Wars, Early Bands in Union County, The Village Blacksmith; The Crossroads at Lochow Lochow, etc. etc. Two-inch felt pen mark to front and rear endpapers. This comprehensive gathering of recollections would seem to be THE place to begin when one wishes to gain an overview of the historical underpinnings and the cultural evolution of interconnected pioneer-communities, across four or more generations, or seek out the roots of one's pioneer roots We speculate, due to the numerous actual photograph (copies) tipped into this book, that it might have been the master, either for a never-published book, or for a book which had only a very limited number of copies. An extraordinary record of The American West, Oregon, and individual retellilngs, of the individuals and families who forged the communities which today yet thrive. ".Possibly one of McComas's most interesting adventures was the manufacturing and sale of his 'Whirlwind Kidney and Rheumatic Remedy", which we will briefly describe: McComas had befriended Chief Whirlwind of the Umatilla Indians by helping him avoid having his long hair cut. Whirlwind was very proud of his waist length hair. In turn Whirlwind has come to McComas's aid in a land deal. The who men were close friends. Whirlwind gave McComas the formula for an Indian Medicine made from native Bluemountain plants. McComas manufactured the medicine and put it on the market with a flashy advertising campaign. It was listed by wholesale drug firms of the West coast and continued to sell while the production continued.".
