Charles Wellington Furlong. Let 'er Buck, New York, 1921.
This book was issued during prosperous times in the wheat country and various merchants of Pendleton separately subscribed for enough copies to make a fair edition for some books.
It was published by George Palmer Putnam, who ran the Bend Bulletin for a while and was twice mayor of Bend, and was secretary to the governor of Oregon from 1914 to 1917, and wrote In the Oregon Country, and later married Amelia Earhart. In the intro- duction to Let 'er Buck he has described the author as follows:
"Charles Wellington Furlong is an ideal author for such an epic of the out-of-doors. He knows. He has lived the life of which he writes. . . . What an adventuresome, varied life our author has led! Explorer, painter, writer, university professor, lecturer, soldier, publicist! He has painted in Paris and been a Professor at Cornell. He has written half a dozen successful books and countless magazine articles. . . He has lectured on art in Boston and fought desert thieves in the Sahara. He has ridden with the wild tribesmen of Morocco and cow-punched with the Vaqueros of the Venezuelan llanos. . . . And naturally he loves the ways of the Old West, so gloriously repictured, in action and spirit, each year at the Pendleton Round-Up—and loves the Round-Up itself, whose story as here recorded becomes a lasting chapter in the history of the well-won West."

Leslie L. Haskin is a photographer and botanist of Brownsville. With his wife, Lilian G. Haskin, he tramped over much territory to get the numerous flower pictures and flower descriptions in the 400 pages of his book. In their field collaboration, Mrs. Haskin "has patiently carried heavy floral loads for me up many a steep trail— never down, she insists—her husband being the only person ingenious enough to leave camp in the morning and return in the evening, having gone up hill the whole day, both coming and going!"
