Here is a link to the book (http://www.amazon.com/Miles-Nowhere-Americas-Contemporary-Frontier/dp/0803266278 http://www.amazon.com/Miles-Nowhere-Americas-Contemporary-Fr...), an initial google search turns up unrelated things.
- davidw 15y agoLooks like a really interesting book - they do cover the remote bits of Oregon, right? There is some incredible country out there - it can feel a bit creepy to be so far from anything. Pity there's no Kindle version:-/
- techiferous 15y agoYes, the "empty quarter" or "outback" of Oregon is mentioned, especially the amazing challenges of census workers in the region. If you like geography, this book is a good read. It's a bit dated, having been written in the early 1990s, but this, in my opinion, turns out to be a good thing. It gives us some great glimpses of how isolated these communities were and I'm sure the Internet has since changed this considerably.
