No More Alive is an interesting look at a family's ordeal through a robbery, murder and court proceedings. It places the reader back in time. I enjoyed the look back in history and the detail in which the book was written. I bought copies for members of my family, they also found the book informative and interesting. Thank you for a great read.

Since I live in Oregon and am very familiar with the area this book takes place in, I could clearly imagine the scenes and events. I enjoyed the characters and story lines. I was disappointed to get to the end but it left me greatly anticipating Part II.

If you enjoyed the previous Oregon adventures you won't be disappointed.

I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

This is a very entertaining account of life in rural Mo. circa 1920's or 1930's.  Many facets of everyday life covered including box suppers, church, school and the basic events of growing up.  I loved it.

What a find! A treasured view of a unique place and colorful characters in our country's past. This is a book that makes history highly entertaining.  It sticks to the facts about the death of Bob Ford, the killer of Jesse James, and gives a true account of the energy and excitement of a frontier town in the American West. If you want to experience vicariously the lives lived dangerously in an Old West mining town, this book is great reading.

Nelson County was next door to Albemarle County, where I was born and raised.  That book captured me with the opening
of chapter one and never let go.  Particularly  surprising was the communications systems available, primitive by 21st century
technology.  I will read it again at some point and perhaps cry again for the neighbors I never got to know.

Thank you for the last few copies on your shelves.  Amazon is so much more than convenient and economical!

The two-volume set is not easy to acquire. Volume II (1900-1970) can be found far more easily than Volume I. I have several Missouri county books -- and I find these two the most entertaining to read and research.

The books are not indexed so finding places, events, and people is literally a line-by-line search.

Unlike other county books there are many entries taken from the county newspapers which make for some interesting reading. Sometimes it's amusing, downright funny. Others almost make you cry. A family loses one child after another to disease. Accidents that were horrific. Even fights and murders. Fires that almost wiped out towns. Bad storms that swept through areas.

Yes, there are some typos and errors but the books are valuable in finding out what life was like early in the county. If your ancestors are from the county, the line-by-line search becomes worth it when you find that their name mentioned with perhaps where they went to school, that they had a perfect attendance record, they were a member of some organization, served in a public office, etc.

History of Wayne County Ohio by Ben Douglas is a must for anyone doing family research in Ohio.  Mr. Douglas traveled a great deal recording everything he witnessed from wildlife to the Indians, to the pioneers, and their lives.  This book covers all counties and has a brief but informative view of life in these counties during the time in which he lived.  I have a hard back volume which I purchased years ago from an old book store.  This book is full of details of how our ancestors lived as they braved the wild forests, beasts, and rugged lands.  It is a reminder of how blessed we are to live in this great country called the United States of America.  Thanks to all of our ancestors and those like Mr. Douglas who left us a written record as to how they lived and how they struggled to give us the benefits we all enjoy today.  Reading this book will bring the past alive and help you appreciate our world today.

This is a wonderful book that captures the "new farmers" in Oregon, and gives us a peak into their lives and farming philosophies that are hopeful, sustainable, and show a true love of the land and their work as farmers. This is a gem of a book that is on the cutting edge of describing a quiet revolution taking place in Oregon, farm by farm. When I read this book, I was excited to learn about the farmers who are growing healthy food and humanely caring for farm animals. If you're depressed about big agribusiness and being overrun by chemical companies, this book is your antidote---it is a truly  uplifting and empowering look at the new farm movement in the U.S. and the diverse group of people in Oregon living good lives close to the land. In addition, the book design is professional and inviting, offering lush, interesting photographs of the land, food, animals, and the farmers. Makes me proud to be an Oregonian! A great gift book, too!

Poor Bubba.  Somehow something is always going on in Pegrem county and he and his family are always put in the middle of it.  And what an interesting family it is.  So well worth your read. As is all of CL Bevill Bubba books are.

This book about Mo is just as fun and enjoyable as the other 2  Mo and her gang solve a great mystery involving Dales father. Love this series. I can hardly wait for the next one to come out. I love the adventures of Mo and her down the river family

This is a great book for someone wanting current information about any place in Oregon. I was hoping for history, and while it does contain some history, it seems more like a reference book. Entries are arranged alphabetically. Since I was born in Oregon, and would enjoy learning more about areas I've never visited, I kept the book. I'm sure I'll have many opportunities to use it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this 4th installment of the series. The awesome descriptions again take the reader right into the heart of Oregon, even more than the previous 3 books. Awesome read

Local history of Clackamas County. Excellent price is why I bought it. A book for less than one dollar was amazing. The book was also in excellent condition.
