A Pictorial History of Astoria: The Early Years

A kaleidoscopic glimpse of the people, places and activities that have helped form Astoria, Oregon, in the early 1800s up through 1940. To walk the streets of Astoria is to leaf through the pages of history. It is the history of a legendary seafaring town. It is history steeped in the legacy of great explorers and commercial adventurers: Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and John Jacob Astor. It is difficult to imagine a more storied place than turn-of-the-century Astoria. It was rich in ethnic traditions, thriving in commerce and industry. At the heart of the story was the Columbia River, teeming with salmon. Copyright 2001. ISBN: 1-891395-01-7

A Pictorial History of Seaside & Gearhart

This hardback collection of photos from Seaside and Gearhart, Oregon, provides a glimpse of the communities as they once were. The first Seasiders were the Clatsop Indians who made their home at the confluence of the Necanicum River, the Neawanna River and the Pacific Ocean. Meriwether Lewis, Wiliam Clark and the Corps of Discovery were early visitors drawn to the beach to make salt from ocean water. Copyright 1998. ISBN: 1-891395-12-2

Monumental Restoration: The History and Restoration of the Astoria Column

Few towns in America, much less Oregon or the Pacific Northwest, possess a symbol as vivid and widely recognized as the Astoria Column. Dedicated in 1926, the Column is a monument to the voyages and expeditions of discovery which came to this place. The challenge of restoring the Column should not be underestimated. The science, craft and art behind the final result are not easily discovered or executed. Copyright 1995.
