  • Introduction

    Orv, as he was called, was my much loved grandfather. The memories are too numerous to list. Grandpa left behind a manuscript of his story when he passed in 1973. We found it in 2011 and on December 21, 2017 I received 200 printed books of his story. Grandpa's story is an important 1st person account of the history of gold mining in the Galice area on the Rogue River in southern Oregon at the turn of the 1900's. It's finally done grandpa. Love you til the end of time.
