Brief biographies of some of the earliest and best known fossil hunters in the region during the 19th century are provided to establish an essential understanding of how the first fossils were interpreted. Then, the author provides an in-depth examination of the fossil evidence for more than ten fossil species discovered in the John Day area. All of these fossils are examined in the context of a Biblical flood perspective.

"OO" Ranch ~ Home For Thousands Of Years explores the evidence of native cultures which called this spot of land in eastern Oregon "home" over the past 12,000 years. Geography created a well-watered valley in the midst of an often hot, dry region. Ever since the end of the "Ice Age", flocks of migrating waterfowl and wandering herds of grazing beasts gathered here. This drew ancient human groups to this rich hunting ground, intent on utilizing the wealth of the land to feed their families. Their hunting weapons and food processing tools show us how much they valued this region as a vast natural resource which was so important to their life ways for many generations. "OO" Ranch ~ Home For Thousands Of Years ... features examples of extraordinary stone artifacts found on the lands of the ranch, now a part of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon.
