Book
Harley Jones and Katie Wheeler's Harney County / Albert Bryce Hanner.
"Harley Jones and Katie Wheeler’s Harney County shares the rich history of their family and their own experiences growing up in Eastern Oregon’s rugged high desert. Their father, Hugh Jones, emigrated from Wales to Kansas in the 1880s, where he married Lettie Shoop in 1899. Together, they embarked on a journey westward, eventually settling in Oregon. Born in 1907, Katie was the middle of six children and traveled with her family across the country in a covered wagon before making a home in Harney County. Harley, the youngest, was born in 1917 on the family’s homestead in Catlow Valley. Told in their own words through interviews, recordings, and journal entries spanning from 1972 to 2013, Harley Jones and Katie Wheeler’s Harney County is a heartfelt memoir of resilience, adventure, and a deep connection to the land that shaped their lives."--Amazon.
