Work Description
What's the connection between Ken Kesey and Nancy's Yogurt? How about the difference between a hoedad and a webfoot?

Includes more than 160 historical black and white photos. This entertaining and delightfully meticulous compendium is an essential reference for anyone curious about Oregon.
