Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In 1993, the New Yorker published Calvin Trillin's memorable article on the eccentric Flavel family of Astoria, the descendants of Captain George Flavel, whose ornate QueenAnnestyle mansion is a tourist draw today. With Trillin's gracious consent, First Family of Astoria is reprinted in Part One of Astorians, Eccentric and Extraordinary, making its first appearance in book form. Part Two carries on the theme with portraits of fiftyfive other notable Astorians. Five Oregon writers have captured the essence and the flavor of vivid personalities that include the notorious shanghaier Bridget Grant; the charming scoundrel Mayor Francis Clay Harley; the elusive English barmaid Jane Barnes, the first white woman in the Pacific Northwest; and Rolf Klep, who believed he could create a major maritime museum in an economically depressed townand made it happen. In biology, it is said that the richest life forms reside at the edge of the ecosystem. Astoria epitomizes edgesthe edge of the country, the edge of a great river, the edge of the Pacific Ocean, and the edge of our American culture. This book celebrates the largerthanlife quality that has appeared with regularity in the town's twohundredyear history. As Steve Forrester, publisher of the Daily Astorian, notes in the book's introduction: Extraordinary people are not necessarily eccentric. But eccentrics are driven to do extraordinary things. Contributors include M. J. Cody, Amy Hoffman Couture, John E. Goodenberger, Nancy Ricker Hoffman, Liisa Penner, and Calvin Trillin.
