[or-roots] "A Song of Yamhill"

[Bill & Chris Strickland]

fyi for all you Yamhill folks, which doesn't include me but I thought it
might be worth mentioning on this forum ...  no personal connection.

While at State Fair (where yours truly were Premier Alpine [Dairy Goat]
Breeder & Exhibitor), I found this announcement of a special
pre-publication offer for 

 A Song of Yamhill and Oregon's Northwestern Willamette Valley, Gordon N
Zimmerman

"This is an epic accounting of the economic, Social, family and
geographic history of the northwest part of the Willamette Valley. It
covers a period of seven generations including how three of the author's
grandfathers came west on the Oregon Trail and how members of his family
operated the first stores in both Yamhill and Carlton. Gordon Zimmerman
is a fifth generation descendant of Yamhill and Carlton Pioneers. He is
fortunate that from an early age, members of his family enjoyed relating
early stories of the area. They also saved pictures and written
information which now, for the first time, can be seen in print."
