Pam Hickson, Recruitment Specialist at the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians, said, “We all know it can be challenging for both businesses and applicants to locate resources and to apply for jobs.

Historian to speak at library about Oregon writer Haycock Siuslaw Public Library will once again welcome historian and author Richard Etulain to the library on Friday, March 9, beginning at 1 p.m. in the Bromley Room at the main branch in Florence. Etulain will discuss his newest book, “Ernest Haycock and the Western,” in which the author writes about the impor- tance of Haycock’s contribu- tion to Oregon’s literary histo- ry. Etulain has focused on the history of the West for most of his career. He is a professor emeritus at the University of New Mexico who has taught history, English and American Studies at a number of univer- sities for over 40 years. He is also the author of dozens of history books and hundreds of essays. In his most recent work about Haycock, Etulain explores the Oregon writer’s contributions in the develop- ment of the fictional Western and traces the Haycock’s ascending career from a University of Oregon student writer to his success as a fre- quent and well-known contrib- utor to popular magazines including Collier’s and The Saturday Evening Post. Etulain explains that his slide-illustrated talk about Haycock “will draw the atten- tion of listeners to one of Oregon’s major writers and cast light on earlier achieve- ments in the state’s rich literary history.” Etulain, the son of a Basque immigrant, has received numerous awards for his work, including the Caughey and Western Heritage awards. He has also been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Fellow historian, Glenda Riley, said, “The magic of Dick Etulain’s books are that they combine solid history with fas- cinating reading. Want to know about the American West? Etulain will make it live for you.” The accomplished author, historian and editor currently lives in Clackamas, Ore., with his wife, Joyce, a retired chil- dren’s librarian. Besides “Ernest Haycock and the Western,” Etulain’s recent works include “The Life and Legends of Calamity Jane,” which was a Western Writers of America Spur Award winner in 2015, and, as co- author, “U.S. Presidents Who Shaped the American West.” Join fellow history buffs, especially those fond of the Western genre and our state’s literary history, for this extraor- dinary opportunity to hear Etulain share his expert insight into one of Oregon’s major writers and learn a bit about Oregon’s rich literary history. This program is free and open to the public and will appeal to everyone interested in learning about Haycock’s career and contributions to Oregon literature. Copies of “Ernest Haycock and the Western” will be avail- able for purchase at the end of the program.
