But Not Jim Crow: Family Memories of African American Loggers of Maxville, Oregon

In the 1920s, Black families from the Jim Crow South came to work in the woods around Maxville, a company logging town in Wallowa County, in northeast Oregon. Pearl Alice Marsh, born in La Grande and raised in Wallowa as the granddaughter of Maxville loggers, gathers family memories to tell the story of these workers and the lives they built in a state with its own history of exclusion. A personal and little-known chapter of Oregon history.
