Opis

Tall Timber Tales: Yarns and Accounts from the Backwoods- is a collection of short stories set in southwestern Oregon and the upper fringes of northwest California. Each narrative speaks to some element of life in timber dependent communities-at times, dying communities. The tales cover a span of several decades, from the early 1950s to present day, and are arranged to impart an understanding of time, mood and place. An included glossary hopes to acquaint the reader with the vernacular of the woods-logging terms and expressions commonly used by the folks who live there-along with regional dialects and colloquialisms peculiar to the area.
