About the Author

A Chicagoan by birth, Ralph Friedman first saw Oregon at the age of seventeen after hitchhiking and riding boxcars across the country. He has written on every state and continent except Antarctica - but Oregon is his major interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Curious, July 13, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oregon for the Curious (Paperback)
Mr. Friedman's book is fun. Using it is like going on a treasure hunt. Browse through the different regions in Oregon and discover things you didn't know were there, but because of his book you " . . . just have to see."

Oregon is my chosen state to live in and I really want to get to know it intimately. "Oregon For The Curious" is the perfect guide for me to take along on my travels.

Places are easy to find with directions to each listed down to the tenth of a mile. Enough detail on the highlighted places to visit is given to get you curious, but not to give the surprise away.

I'm curious and this book has made me "curiouser and curiouser."

5.0 out of 5 stars a guide to meandering around Oregon, June 6, 2000
By 
Shannon (Milwaukie, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oregon for the Curious (Paperback)
This book has been a part of our family since childhood. I remember my Mother taking it along on family vacations, and we'd stop at all of these cool spots that were recomended by Ralph Freidman. Now that all six of us are grown, we all have our own editions of this book. Whenever I take an Oregon getaway, this book always comes along. Whether it's geology, history, architecture, or anything in between that you're interested in, this book will be a great companion to your explorations.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" for an Oregonian., September 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oregon for the Curious (Paperback)
This is definately a "must have" book for any true Oregonian. This book is your "boots on the ground" guide to Oregon. It is the ground level companion to OPB's "Oregon by Air" videos.
