"In The Cornucopia, Tom Cook leads us on an expedition 100 years back in time to a remote mountainside in Northeast Oregon. Once there, Cook lets us experience the enchanting, dangerous and sometimes heartwarming history of Oregon's largest gold mining operation. Not fanciful fiction, this is an affectionately told story of real people scratching a living out of the cold hard rock of Oregon's Wallowa Mountains. The Cornucopia adds a new volume to the great historical literature about America's Old West." - Dave Imus, author of The Essential Geography of the United States of America and other maps

"Ghosts, miners, prostitutes, Chinese, Basques, outlaws, politicians, and yet more ghosts - the Wallowa Mountains gold-mining boomtown of Cornucopia in Oregon's wild northeast corner saw it all. Thomas Cook told the story of 'Copia's' gold mine in his first book, The Cornucopia. Now he describes the wide-open frontier town that the mine created, and the historic ruins that cry out for preservation." - William L. Sullivan, author of Hiking Oregon's History and over twenty other books.
