This story is a biography of William Kittredge "Bill Kitt" (1876-1958) and his mercurial rise from every day cowboy to one of the largest ranchers in the West. It also includes a history of the areas in Oregon, Nevada, and California where he operated; and the old methods, equipment, and jargon used in raising livestock. It's a look back into the lives of many people including Cowboy Hall of Fame and Rodeo Hall of Fame inductees, a movie star, All-American football player, Congressional Medal of Honor Ace, Hollywood stunt man, U.S. and state leaders, and the tragic deaths of Oregon's top three officials.

Blame Metro ... when urban renewal strikes!: When laws oppress

Hindman, Jo

Dust jacket notes: "This book, The Oregon Desert, is a hard one to define. A single paragraph may be a mixture of geology, history, biography, and rich desert lore. There is no other book about the Oregon desert and this one fills the void. Most of the material applies equally well to other Northern deserts in Idaho, Utah, Nevada, and neighboring states. Wild horses run through it; itinerant Irish sheepherders enrich it; all of the desert animals shyly and charmingly peep from its pages. Slow geological forces wend their relentless ways; the desert towns spring to life before your eyes and swiftly decay. The old-time cattle drives are clearly recalled. Here you learn what to look for and what to see in the desert. This book has no hero, except the desert itself. This wild, rough land does things to men who try to change it. 'The anvil wears the hammer out.' Little men withdraw into themselves and become smaller; mean men become meaner; but men with vision grow and expand to fit the wider vistas. So in the desert we have the worst and the best. Every page has its anecdote or quotable statement. There is enough material here to set up a TV writer for years. It is all purely American humor, becoming rare these days, since the snappy gag line has largely replaced the deeper, more subtle, more enjoyable humor you will find here. Almost everyone will like this book. It will charm and delight, and it will bring new knowledge of some kind."

Fiat Money Inflation in France

Fiat Money Inflation In France

Fiat Money Inflation in France is as much about irrational human behavior as it is about financial crises and runaway inflation. White describes a disillusioned public who, under the influence of increasingly self-serving public officials and orators, accepted more and more assignant printings even though the perils of such printings had been documented throughout history and were then blatantly obvious right before their eyes. Andrew Dickson White presented this analysis of the runaway inflation in France to dissuade the US Government of printing its own paper money. At the time, he was successful.
