Don't be surprised if reading Oregon: Then and Now becomes a contagious habit. With 105 pairs of historic and contemporary black-and-white and color photographs on display in this beautifully designed 13-by-10 inch hardcover book, it's tempting to pick it up and thumb through it again and again. And if your family and friends are anything like mine, they won't want to put it down either.
Perfectly complimenting the photography, the book's illuminating essays provide insights into the life of Benjamin Gifford and how things have changed in Oregon since the days when he traversed the state with his tripod, view camera, and 8-by-10 inch glass plates. Thomas Robinson's fascinating biography of Gifford looks at the many accomplishments and innovations of a man whose work, according to one reviewer in 1907, breathed "the very spirit of the outdoors" and helped attract more settlers and farmers to Oregon. 96Northwest Travel
