History of the Rogue River National Forest Volume 2 — 1933-1969

Volume II of "History of the Rogue River National Forest" contains an addendum to Volume I. This consists of a few pictures taken during the period 1925 - 1931, and a copy of Executive Order No. 5882 which changed the name of the Forest from "Crater" to "Rogue River."

Relief measures enacted to pull the Nation out of the chaos following the depression years of the late twenties are described in Volume II, as well as major events on the Forest from 1933 through 1969.

Much more complete lists of Forest personnel are available for recent years, than for those years considerably in the past. So, beginning with 1955, only the Forest Supervisor and District Rangers, and the Supervisor's principal Staff, are listed within the history for each year. Other personnel are listed in the Appendix.

Acknowledgment is due the persons who worked to make this volume possible. Jean Lomax spent many hours researching newspapers and activity reports to compile Forest accomplishments, and Kathryn Wellman did considerable editing of the material. Florence Renaker, now retired, designed the front cover, as she did for Volume I. George Wooding selected pictures and cropped them for proper perspective. Betty Duffield and Carolyn Chesnut typed the material and proofed it. Grace Sprague wrote the dedication message to Janie Smith, the Forest Administrative Officer for many years. Several others helped; for those not specifically mentioned, thanks for a job well done.
