Oregon Gold William F. Willingham Ph.D. Talk & Book Signing Free Event

Willingham shows how mining was an important aspect of the state’s history, far greater than has been traditionally understood. He provides special attention and analysis to the role Chinese miners played in the story of eastern Oregon mining and to the demographic makeups of two major mining communities, Susanville and Granite, that thrived during the period.

One of many of Dr. Willingham's Books includes The Classic Houses of Portland, Oregon 1850-1950, 1999 Co-authored with William J. Hawkins III.
