Garrison, James R.

James R. Garrison grew up in Rio Dell and has since lived in Alaska, Washington, and Oregon while working and raising a family. After returning to his hometown, Garrison earned his bachelor of arts in history in 2014 from Humboldt State University, where he did extensive research on the settlement period of Humboldt County. Using images obtained from the Humboldt State University Library, local museums, and private collections, Garrison details the history of these two towns and the timber industry that was at their center.
