More Good Home History Library Books

The Images of America Sandy and Images of America Boring books by Dan Bosserman are good historical references to have in a home library. The addition of Bruce Haney’s Eccentric Tales of Boring Oregon also provides evidence that the town is NOT boring, so be prepared to allot a good block of time to keep turning the pages when you start digging into some of the riveting tales. You won’t want to stop. Some stories will set your teeth on edge, some are hilarious, and history has been well-preserved in the 127 pages of writing and vintage photos contained in each book. Most of all, these books bring to life the flesh-and-blood reality of the people who struggled, lived, and died here in earlier times.
