Grants Pass the Golden Years - by Percy T. Booth

This book is a wonderful collection of photographs and stories about the history of Grants Pass, Oregon.

Richard Booth describes his father's book as follows:  "Percy Booth's book, Grants Pass The Golden Years, is remarkable in two ways; his clear recollection of childhood and adult years in Grants Pass plus, countless hours of research and interviews, and his determined effort to seek out and select a priceless collection of pioneer photographs that appear on the following pages."




The layout of this book makes it a sheer pleasure to read.  As you turn the pages, the left side of the page will contain a photograph made from the original reproduction, with a descriptive sentence below.  On the right side page is an in-depth explanation of the photo and related stories.


Whether you've lived you entire life in Southern Oregon, are new to the area, or are just "passing through," I promise you that you'll thoroughly enjoy this book.


This book plus many others are available at the Josephine County Historical Society.  Please come browse the great selection we have in our bookshop, or email us at josephine@historicalsociety.us.
