"Ghosts, miners, prostitutes, Chinese, Basques, outlaws, politicians, and yet more ghosts - the Wallowa Mountains gold-mining boomtown of Cornucopia in Oregon's wild northeast corner saw it all. Thomas Cook told the story of 'Copia's' gold mine in his first book, The Cornucopia. Now he describes the wide-open frontier town that the mine created, and the historic ruins that cry out for preservation." - William L. Sullivan, author of Hiking Oregon's History and over twenty other books.
