07.30: The Oregon Trail: A New American Journey
2015-06-17 01:05:13| Powells Books Events Calendar
Spanning 2,000 miles and traversing six states, from Missouri to the Pacific coast, the Oregon Trail is the route that made America. Today, amazingly, the trail is all but forgotten. Rinker Buck's The Oregon Trail (Simon & Schuster) is the epic account of traveling the length of the Oregon Trail the old-fashioned way — in a covered wagon with a team of mules, an audacious journey that hasn't been attempted in a century — which also chronicles the rich history of the trail, the people who made the migration, and its significance to the country. Buck is no stranger to grand adventures. His first travel narrative, Flight of Passage, was hailed by The New Yorker as "a funny, cocky gem of a book," and with The Oregon Trail he brings the most important route in American history back to glorious and vibrant life. At once a majestic journey across the West, a significant work of history, and a moving personal saga, The Oregon Trail draws readers into the journey of a lifetime. A wildly ambitious work of nonfiction from a true American original, it is a book with a heart as big as the country it crosses.

07.16: The Other Oregon: A Thriller
2015-06-16 23:04:40| Powells Books Events Calendar
On the surface, Greg Simmons seems an utterly improbable informant. He's an idealistic, Cascadia independence proponent from the city of Portland. When the FBI calls on Greg to go undercover to investigate a dangerous militia movement out in rural Oregon, he knows exactly why: his long-estranged friend from the country, Donny Wilkie, could have deep ties to the militia. Greg doesn't want the FBI's help. He needs to pursue the threat all on his own, because his true motives run far deeper — making sure that his former friend will never reveal a damning secret from their past. As he grapples with their relationship and why it soured, as the threats to his worldview and to hiding the grim truth darken and mount, he discovers that no one is really who they seem, least of all himself. The Other Oregon (Yucca Publishing) is Steve Anderson's thrilling new novel.

2015-06-16 23:04:39| Powells Books Events Calendar
Robert Lewisohn Hamm's Becoming Oregon: From Expedition to Exposition (Mossy Brae Press) collects 150 authentic newspapers, mostly from the East Coast, which featured stories about Oregon during the 100 years between the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806) and the Lewis and Clark Exposition (1905). Hamm's book recounts the fascination with this strange and wondrous land out west — the expedition, the trail, the land, homesteading, statehood, and the world's fair.
