May Library Display

The library volunteers decided that it is time for Oregon natives and transplants to recognize our beautiful state despite all the troubles of the past year.  With that in  mind, a wide variety of books about Oregon are on the Manor Library display table for your reading and visual pleasure during the coming month.  These include books by Manor authors John Kemper, Ann Sutton, and Carol Barrett.  There are volumes about Medford and the Rogue River.  There are even some novels based in Oregon.  A small sample of the books are listed below:

History of a People, by Stephen Dow Beckham.  This is considered a classic history of Southern Oregon native peoples during the 1850’s and the Rogue River Wars.

Skookum, by Shannon Applegate.  This is a recounting of the Applegate family, early settlers in our area.

Camp White–City in the Desert, by George Kramer.  Learn about the many events at Camp White during World War II.

Oregon Wine:  A Deep Rooted History, by Scott Sursa.  All about the development of wine making in Oregon.
