Within the historic walls of Ticket’s Bar, third-generation saloon owner, Owen Ticket, delights readers with his wry, serious, and often humorous tone—all while relating a hundred years’ worth of Cordell, Oregon’s historic past.

Owen, a delightfully intriguing character himself, unpacks story after story of the area’s most captivating individuals and their amusing escapades. Experience what it was like to live in and around places like The Cascade Mountains and Oregon’s high prairie during America’s most pivotal moments—Prohibition, the Great Depression, and the Vietnam War.

When necessary, characters like Ross Wilson and Amazing Grace Campbell fill in the gaps in Owen’s memory—relating their own personal triumphs and relational hiccups through the years.
