N YSSA. OREGON. THURSDAY. JULY 31. 1952 Gregg's "Pioneer Days In Malheur County" Available at Nyssa Library Suggested good reading for those interested in the early settlement days o f Malheur county is Jacob Ray Gregg's "Pioneer Days in M al­ heur County." published in 1940 The author is a former postmaster of Ontario and a pioneer newspaper publisher. The book is a complete record of one of the most fabulous sections of Western America, and traces the traversal of the Snake River Valley by white men the mid-18th century to the time of publication. In a running narrative style, the author highlights the high adven­ tures of the trail-blazing pioneers, who. in ox-drawn wagons, cut the deep ruts of the Old Oregon Trad with many unbelievable feats and brutal incidents. Such were the horrible Indian massacres along the trail; the super­ human struggle for existence on the desert trail and in mountain wilder ness, the story of the Lost Blue Bucket mine, the first settlement« of the county in 1863. the Indian uprisings of the '60's and '70’s, the coming of the railroad, the days of the cattle kings, and many others. Proper and complete credit Is giv­ en by the author to the pioneers who first settled and the late comers who have added their efforts in de­ veloping the county's agricultural, industrial and cultural resources. "Pioneer Days in Malheur County" will be found at Nyssa library. Mrs. Lewis Callahan, ttie former Miss KaNae Draper, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Golden T.
