Postcards from the Oregon Coast: History Presented by the People Who Lived It - Paperback

by Mary E. Webster (Editor), Bruce G. Walker (Author)
A native of the Oregon coast, Bruce Walker has collected more than 100 picture postcards of Tillamook, Newport, and the surrounding communities from 1905 to 1935. Real picture postcards, RPPC's, recorded both local historical events, like spectacular ship wrecks, and mundane everyday occurrences, like a family on a camping vacation. Only 100 years ago, the fastest mode of travel was horseback. Many communities on the Oregon coast could only be reached by boat. Postcards and letters were used for long-distance communications.Postcards, and the messages on them, which are included in the book, have left a glimpse of life on the Oregon coast at the beginning of the 20th century.During this period, Walker's family arrived in Oregon from Russia. A picture postcard of his mother competing in a Rockaway beauty pageant started his quest to find other images from these years on the Oregon coast.
