From Boom to Ghost Town: Cornucopia, Oregon

By Thomas Taylor Cook, BS ’77 (Elementary Education), MS ’79 (Curriculum and Instruction)

The gold-mining boomtown of Cornucopia, located in Oregon’s northeast corner, was once a bustling home for miners, prostitutes, outlaws, and ghosts. In his second book on the gold-mining history in Eastern Oregon, Cook takes the reader back to Cornucopia before it became a ghost town, while also suggesting what can be done in the present to keep its history alive.
