Descended from two of Port Oneida’s founding couples, and having spent a lifetime working as fisherman, dunemobile driver, Coast Guardsman, farmer, builder, deputy sheriff, and County Magistrate, if you needed to know how something was done around Port Oneida, it was, “Just ask Jack.” Fortunately, throughout his 92 years Jack Barratt gave generously of his wide-ranging knowledge of Port Oneida ways. This book is based on oral histories and family photos donated by Jack, his wife Lucille, and his cousin George Burfiend.

Dottie Lanham, a fourth-generation citizen of Burdickville, has donated use of her collection of historic photographs, and spent many hours providing associated oral history information. Dottie Lanham: Images, Recollections, and Observations presents some of those photographs, accompanied by notes drawn from her interviews. There are also some images, interview excerpts, and information from some of Dottie’s neighbors. Books 2008-05-13T21:46:06+00:00
