Costco to Host Book Signing for State of Jefferson Authors

ROSEBURG, Ore. - Dec. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- As early as 1852, the hardy settlers of the self -proclaimed State of Jefferson began to rally against the California and Oregon governments. The autonomous and determined spirit of border-county residents perseveres today, and nowhere is this better evidenced than in the character of the communities that remain.

The authors say, “For those hearing about the State of Jefferson for the first time, we hope you’ll enjoy this tribute to our fascinating history; though marked by violence and grief, it is also characterized by adventure, wit, and cold, hard determination.”

Tickner’s interest in local history comes from childhood, since her family settled in present Siskiyou County in the 1860s, a significant portion of what was to become part of the State of Jefferson. Fiorini-Jenner’s interest in history stems from her marriage into a family with local roots and from her family’s history and education. Tickner and Fiorini-Jenner also are the authors of Arcadia Publishing’s The State of Jefferson (2006) in the Images of America series.
