Historic Tales of the Oregon Coast by Gary Hayes; A Book from History Press. The region was the site of historic global exploration and the epicenter of early international trade before becoming part of the United States following the great western migration that resulted in the devastating decline of the Native People and virtual elimination of their culture and way of life. This book tells the story of 200 transformative years as the Oregon Coast went from an unknown spot on the world map to become one of America's greatest natural treasures. The region was the site of historic global exploration and the epicenter of early international trade before becoming part of the United States following the great western migration that resulted in the devastating decline of the Native People and virtual elimination of their culture and way of life. Colorful eras of logging and fishing drove the region's economy from its pioneering beginnings into the twentieth century; and as the Oregon Coast became more accessible with the coming of steamboats, railroads and automobiles; remarkable preservation efforts assured unprecedented public access and the eventual protection of one America's greatest scenic wonderlands. This book is richly illustrated with historical photos. Author Gary Hayes is a native Oregonian with lifelong connections to the Oregon Coast.
