Cornucopia: Oregon's Richest Mine - Paperback

by Thomas T. Cook (Author)

"In The Cornucopia, Tom Cook leads us on an expedition 100 years back in time to a remote mountainside in Northeast Oregon. Once there, Cook lets us experience the enchanting, dangerous and sometimes heartwarming history of Oregon's largest gold mining operation. Not fanciful fiction, this is an affectionately told story of real people scratching a living out of the cold hard rock of Oregon's Wallowa Mountains. The Cornucopia adds a new volume to the great historical literature about America's Old West."

- Dave Imus, author of The Essential Geography of the United States of America and other maps
