<div class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Regarding the book mentioned at the end of this message, Into the Eye of the Setting Sun, I have read it and can confirm that it is indeed a good book. It was written by Charlotte Matheny Kirkwood, who was related to the Kirkwood Ranch people. She wrote some articles for the Idaho County Free Press about the War of 1877. There is also a book available about her brother Jasper Matheny. They may be purchased from the Yamhill County Historical Society <A href="http://www.yamhillcountyhistory.org/Publications.php" target=_blank>http://www.yamhillcountyhistory.org/Publications.php</A> </SPAN></div>
