Dixie Mountain Legacies: Rural Life in an Oregon Community

Dixie Mountain, 20 miles northwest of Portland, Oregon, is depicted in this local history telling of the early homesteading, the logging industry in the area, the civic organizations that bound the community together, and the more recent success of strawberry and Christmas tree farming. Two of the grown children of Jorgen Nielsen (1821-1871) and Margrethe Pedersdatter (1823-1882) homesteaded in the community. Interesting anecdotes from their lives are part of the story.
