Hard Times in Paradise: Coos Bay, Oregon, Revised Edition

Hard Times in Paradise: Coos Bay, Oregon, Revised Edition

Blessed with vast expanses of virgin timber, a good harbor, and a San Francisco market for its lumber, the Coos Bay area once dubbed itself "a poor man's paradise." A new Prologue and Epilogue by the author bring this story of gyppo loggers, longshoremen, millwrights, and whistle punks into the twenty-first century, describing Coos Bayâ€™s transition from timber town to a retirement and tourist community, where the site of a former Weyerhaeuser complex is now home to the Coquille Indian Tribeâ€™s The Mill Casino.
