The Death of Savage Rapids Dam - Part 2

Another Dam book now available on Kindle


The Death of Savage Rapids Dam - Part 2, written by Joan Momsen, is now available for your ereader.

This is a book of photographs. Many of these photos have appeared in The Dam Picture Book and Another Dam Picture Book, both of which were published before the removal of Savage Rapids Dam was completed. This book has additional photos and shows the dam site through the completion of removal.

The first few photos in this book are the last few photos on Part One. This book begins on Sept. 30, 2009 while the lake was full for the last time. After irrigation season ended, the plan was to drain the lake around Oct. 1, 2009 so that the rest of the removal could begin. These are the photos and comments of that process.

Current photos were taken by Joan Momsen unless otherwise indicated.


The Death of Savage Rapids Dam - Part 2 is now available at Amazon.com for just $9.99.

Josephine County History Available on Kindle

The Josephine County Historical Society has entered the 21st century!

We have just released our very first Kindle book, with more to follow soon.

 Postcards From the Past is a collection of postcards located at the Josephine County Historical Society Research Library. They depict various views of downtown Grants Pass, Oregon from the 1900's. 

They provide an interesting snapshot of how Grants Pass developed over the 20th century. If photos are not dated, one can investigate and come close to determining the time frame of the photo. Sometimes it is very close, sometimes within the decade.


Buy it now for your reading device for only $9.99.
