Oregon is such a wonderful place. I have been to many areas, many times, but sadly have never read anything about it that I can remember. Maybe your list can change that.
annieb - It is such a beautiful state!
I love The Jump-Off Creek!
I have lived in Oregon my whole life, and there are a lot of books on your list which I haven't read and didn't know of.
Bybee - I haven't read that one yet.
Alyce - Oh good! I'm always excited when I find a new one from Indiana (my state).
Beverly Cleary was born in Oregon, lived there during her childhood.
Her books inspirations came from the area she grew-up in.
Plethora - Thanks! I added her in.
