But the love affair didn't last long. 12 Christmas on the Northwest Frontier by Linda Eckhardt Holidays for the pioneers meant one thing: food. Their diaries reveal that even at the leanest table during the darkest hour, the message of Christmas shone through clearly-be it through a shared slab of bacon or a rare can of peaches. 18 The Good Earth by Paul Richardson Since its inception with the cultivation of wheat to feed hungry miners in the 1850s, commercial agriculture has played a prominent role in Jackson County's economy. Turn­ of-the-century photographs tell its story of hard luck, ingenuity, and worldwide fame.

Now this infor­ perience as "wholly clients, and via Joe Wharton (the sporting mation from a noted salmon angier was satisfying." goods store owner and later Grants Pass exceedingly interesting."5 Photo courtesy Loren Grey mayor who wrote magazine articles about the Rogue), no one commanded public attention like Zane Grey. Between 1910 and 1924, a Zane Grey book made the bestseller list every year but one, and at one time in the United States his works ranked only behind the Bible and McGuffey's readers in sales. 1 He was the people's author, read by the masses who gobbled up his eighty-nine novels and numerous stories and articles. Beginning in 1908 and continuing for the next half cen­ tury, with the exceptions of 1954 and 1962, Grey had one to four books published annually. His works have been translated into at least twenty languages and transformed into more than 130 films. 2 "I'm quite sure he was responsible for the popularity of the Rogue River," said Dr. Loren Grey, Zane Grey's youngest and only surviving child. 3 In addition to a novel, Rogue River Feud, Grey penned numerous stories about his Rogue River fishing experiences, including "Where Rolls the Rogue," "Rocky Riffle," "Winkle Bar, 1926," "Loren," "September 8, 1927 ," and "Down River." The latter was a blow-by­ blow account of his first harrowing boat trip down the Rogue in 1925 and provided the background for Rogue River Feud. Grey's trips on the Rogue and his later summer stays at his place on Winkle Bar, fifteen miles below Grave Creek, were not vacations from writing. On the contrary, Grey's life as an author was a vacation by most standards. Few writers in history knew greater wealth, 4 and Grey used his fortune to live out fantasies. He traveled almost constantly, moving around the globe in pursuit of world-class fishing, high adventure, pure outdoor experiences TABLE ROCK SENTINEL NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 1992 5 Grey traveled to Oregon that same year to find the river "beautiful beyond com­ pare," but devoid of fish . He missed the steelhead run on a subsequent trip also; but in September 1922 flashing silver darted beneath the river's surface.

  • The Geography of Zane Grey's Western Union Or
    PAGE 22 ZANE GREY REVIEW MAY, 2013 The Geography of Zane Grey's Western Union Or. Kevin Blake The geography of Zane Grey's Western Union is one of the more straightfor- ~,-.... , ward among his oeuvre, with great faithfulness to place names, di stances, di­ rections, and landmarks. That is not to say, however, that this geography is without compelling intrigue. Indeed, through thi s western romance set along the telegraph route in the summer and fall of 186 1, th e reader also learn s much about the Oregon Trail and the cultural and natural landscape of the Great Plains of western Nebraska and eastern Wyoming. Westbound travel­ ers today following Interstate 80 and U.S. 26 can savor many of the same sights that Grey describes with his characteristic verve and accuracy. Wayne Cameron of Boston is the protagonist of this tale, and, in an unusual narrative device for Grey, Cameron te ll s hi s story in the first person. Though Cameron is a western neophyte, he has the good for­ tune to fall in with two salt-of-the-earth cowboys, Jack Lowden and Vance Shaw. Late of Texas, Shaw proves to be the type of gun­ slinger that Grey made fa mous: honorable, quick as a snake on the draw, and with just enough of a mean streak to leave the bad guys shaking in their boots. Both Shaw and Cameron develop romantic interests: Shaw with Ruby, a teen prostitute with a heart of gold who had been wrongfully forced into the trade, and Cameron with Kit Sunderlund, the proud daughter of a Texas cattleman (Figure I).

  • Florida Keys Mile-Marker Guide
    Road Trip: Florida Keys Mile-Marker Guide Overseas Highway, mile by mile: Plan your Florida Keys itinerary The Overseas Highway through the Florida Keys is the ultimate road trip: Spectacular views and things to do, places to go and places to hide, hidden harbors and funky tiki bars. There are hundreds of places to pull over to fish or kayak or enjoy a cocktail at sunset. There are dozens of colorful coral reefs to snorkel or dive. Fresh seafood is a Florida Keys staple, offered at roadside fish shacks and upscale eateries. For many, the destination is Key West, at the end of the road, but you’ll find the true character of the Florida Keys before you get there. This mile-marker guide will help you discover new things to see and do in the Florida Keys. It’s a great tool for planning your Florida Keys driving itinerary. Card Sound Road 127.5 — Florida City – Junction with Fla. Turnpike and U.S. 1. 126.5 — Card Sound Road (CR-905) goes east to the Card Sound Bridge and northern Key Largo. If you’re not in a hurry, take the toll road ($1 toll). Card Sound Road traverses a wild area that once had a small community of Card Sound. All that’s left now is Alabama Jack’s, a funky outdoor restaurant and tiki bar known for its conch fritters and the line of motorcycles it attracts. (Don’t be afraid; it’s a family oriented place and great fun.) If you take Card Sound Road, you’ll pass a little-known park, Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park, before coming to Key Largo itself.

  • Films Saved from Twentieth Century
    Hf NO. 41 The Museum of Modern Art FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 955-6100 Cable: Modemart TOM MIX, CLARA BOW, AND OTHER EARLY STARS ON MUSEUM SCREEN "Riders of the Purple Sage" and "Just Tony," two early silent films of Tom Mix, and "Call Her Savage," starring Clara Bow, the early sex siren, will be part of a special series of "rescued" films to be shown at The Museum of Modern Art. The program, starting April 10, 1971, consists of Twentieth Century-Fox films preserved by the Museum, which have not been seen here since their original release. "Riders of the Purple Sage," a 1925 Zane Grey romance, was made by Fox four times between 1914 and 1941. Of the Tom Mix version Eileen Bowser, Associate Curator in charge of the Museum's Film Archive, points out "the camera is permitted to get closer than usual to the actor: he avoided close-ups as a rule, not only to show off to the full his splendid riding and roping skills, but also because he made little pretense of being a dramatic actor." Mix, according to Mrs. Bowser, outranked all other cowboy stars in popularity. He made his debut on film in 1919, but prior to that time he had been a star of touring Wild West shows, and he was billed as "Tom Mix Ex-U. S. Marshall, Expert Roper and Bronco Buster." The second picture starring Mix, "Just Tony," is of 1922 vintage. Named after the celebrated horse Mix rode,which plays an important role in the story, it was made on location in Nevada in the Valley of the Eagles.

It was there in the white heart of the dying campfire; it hung in the shadows that hovered over the flickering light; it drifted in the darkness beyond. This hour, when the day had closed and the lonely desert night set in with its dead silence, was one in which Cameron's mind was thronged with memories of a time long past--of a home back in Peoria, of a woman he had wronged and lost, and loved too late. He was a prospector for gold, a hunter of solitude, a lover of the drear, rock-ribbed infinitude, because he wanted to be alone to remember. A sound disturbed Cameron's reflections. He bent his head listening. A soft wind fanned the paling embers, blew sparks and white ashes and thin smoke away into the enshrouding circle of blackness.
