Mysterious Oregon (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Behold the jewel of the Pacific Ring of Fire; Oregon beckons with vivid landscapes, alpine hikes, scenic wonders, geologic oddities, fascinating facts, astonishing lore and historic highlights. Mysterious Oregon began as a series of stories I did to revisit writing as an art form and to push the envelope of mainstream travel writing. My first efforts were well received and I continued writing in my spare time, drawing upon Oregon’s history and geologic diversity. After I had written a volume of material I organized it under the theme of mysterious Oregon, alluding to the paradoxical nature of a fertile oasis born of fire and ice. Wave after wave of humanity has sought this ancient paradise since before the last Ice Age and left tell-tale clues of their passing. Creatures great and small have called Oregon home and some of them still inhabit the vast backcountry on both sides of the Cascade Range. Walk in their footsteps if you dare. Smile at Sasquatch; search for lost gold; track legendary creatures; ponder the mystery of the mummy bag. Let your reverie reach into the Paleolithic past; discover the treasures of Mysterious Oregon.
