Book Description
"The geared locomotive was born of sudden need back in the 1870's and the Shay was the first and most numerous of this bizarre breed. Its sound was enough to send the unitiated scurrying into the brush, for it gave the impression of a charging monster, flying past at a mile-a-minute speed. In actuality, though, the din of steam and metal was deceptive and bore little relation to its leisurely pace. The Shay locomotive attained its peak of popularity during the 1920s and no fewer than 500 of these machines were in use on the West Coast. The famous Pacific Coast type was first introduced in 1927 as a last-ditch effort to induce the western lumber industry to continue to log vast stands by Shay locomotives." --Fron inside of book jacket

Book Description
The geared locomotive is important in the history of logging. It mechanized the transport of logs from forest to mill. The Willamette is but a footnote with only 33 ever built. Its impact belies the small number; it brought innovations later copied by the big players: Shay and Heisler. A useful and worthy contribution to the history of rail and logging.

Book Description
The Russian River tells a rich story of Sonoma County, both historically and ecologically. For as long as can be remembered, there has been an intimate relationship between the people of the Russian River and the fish, specifically the salmon and the steelhead. This tale of fishing begins with the Pomo people's communal fishing forays, winds through Russian exploration and early American settlement, and lands in the present time. For millennia, fishing has been a cultural cornerstone on the Russian River. Unfortunately, this once lively and productive salmonid fishery is dying. Overfishing, gravel mining, increased sedimentation from logging and agriculture, dams, and overdevelopment along the riverbanks and tributaries have all caused a decline in salmonid numbers. Thankfully, through collaborative efforts of local residents, nonprofit organizations, ranchers, farmers, and government agencies, fish populations are rebounding.
