OREGON ENCYCLOPEDIA
I used to write for Oregon Encyclopedia. The first article I wrote was on a real character from Harney County: Bill Hanley. His memoir in journal form, "Feelin' Fine", is worth a read. He was known as the "Sage of Harney County". The second article is on The Edward Hines Lumber Company and the birth of the town of Hines. Go to to the Oregon Encyclopedia web site -- oregonencyclopedia.org -- if you're interested in reading about Oregon history and culture.
