[or-roots] Row River Row

Dale and Roy 

There were a number of logging camps in the Portland Area mainly in the Coast Range and in The C ascade Foothills. 

I do not remember the names of the books offhand but there are a number of books about logging in Oregon. 

I kick myself to this day for not recording some of the Stories my Mother and Her Sister's used to tell as they 

worked as cooks and waitress's in a number of the Camps, my Mother went through two of the Tillamook burns 

At Elise and Lee's Camp. 

I have photos of Diston Oregon when it was a logging camp also have photos of Logging in the Dallas Area.

once again you folks have peeked my interest.  I have been trying to find out for years if there was ever a large logging camp near Portland in the 1917 to 1919 time frame.  My grandmother was a cook in a logging camp at that time and that is where she met my grandfather who was also a cook in the same logging camp.  I have a photo of some of the loggers standing in the camp near a building but can't identify it.  It is one of those old wide, about 12 inches wide by about 3-1/2 inches tall.  I have several of those old photos from the time frame of about 1910 to 1920. 
I sure would like to know the name of the logging camp and if there is any information about it.

Off the top of my head I seem to remember seeing or hearing something in some of the histories  lately  about the "Bucket of Blood" or some such tavern up toward Dorena or past it (Seems like it had a legitimate name too?) where as much entertainment was had by the loggers trying to knock each other's teeth out every Saturday night as they had by drinking and dancing. I assume that is the story you are referring too?

Hi Les, 

Thank you for the information. I will check  this link. 

Yes, I can see how my email address would lead you to think I live somewhere between Cottage Grove and Dorena. 
In fact I'm a native San Diegan.  I did live in Cottage Grove in 2002 and in Eugene from 2003 to 2006.  That is not, however, the reason my email is Row River.... 

Being from Cottage Grove and interested in genealogy perhaps you have heard the story of how the Row River became the Row after originally being called the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the Willamette.  My ggg grandfather was the George Clark referenced in this story. 

If you haven't heard the story I'll be happy to share it with you.
