Informazioni sul libro
The perfect gift book for the historian in your life! Actual broadcast radio scripts about Oregon, these were written in the 1960's by northwest pioneer broadcaster and native son, John C. Lewis. Dusted off and compiled by the author in 2014, these short essays offer eloquent descriptions of all things Oregon. From the powerful Columbia River to a puzzle on a street corner in Portland, we learn of the many reasons to love Oregon, in grand, old-time broadcasting style. Written exclusively as radio scripts, these essays were meant to be read aloud, and the author challenges each of us to do just that, as he did himself, live on the radio many decades ago. Whether you're interested in the pioneer settling of The Oregon Country, historical tidbits about the city of Portland or the traditions of the Portland Rose Festival, this book is a wonderful tribute to a welcoming and scenic state, with photos throughout. You'll want to leave this charming little book next to your favorite chair, to pick up anytime and read just a snippet about the great state of Oregon. And, as the author says in his Afterword, "...there will be a smile on your face. And it will feel good." (Book design by the author's daughter, Kit Lewis)
