Volume V, the final volume of Thunder Over the Ochoco covers ther period of 1880 and 1916. Rifle shots echoed the length and breadth of the Deschutes canyon as the HillHarriman railroad giants battled to link central Oregon to the outside world.The birth of industry would give vent to new bloodshed in the Ochoco. Sixshooters roared in the night, ranchers disappeared never to be seen again... and the juniper trees bore fruit: the dangling bulletridden bodies of men whose only crime was to oppose the land barons who ruled old Crook County with a Winchester rifle and a rawhide rope. As the 19th century staggered to a close, a Shoshoni visionary born in the Ochoco foretold the rebirth of Indian supremacy. His wondrous dream was buried in a common grave at Wounded Knee, South Dakota. By the time the 20th century blundered onto the scene, saddleblanket blazes hacked into the Ochoco pines marked the deadlines between sheep and cattle range and woe unto him who crossed these barriers.Ironically, the last Indian war fought in the United States would explode on the OregonNevada border in 1911 when a Shoshoni chief led his followers, armed only with bows and arrows, in a suicidal charge against a group of stockmen. Thus ended the Thunder Over the Ochoco.Would the new owners do a better job of managing the land they had wrenched from the Shoshoni? I leave that to other writers to decide.
