Friends of the Three Sisters Wilderness- an inspiring story In 1954 Karl and Ruth Onthank with other activists from ENHS, The Obsidians and other outdoor and conservation groups formed the Friends of the Three Sisters Wilderness (F3S), dedicated to saving the Three Sisters Primitive area of the Willamette and Deschutes national forests as wilderness areas. Sensing that its mission had been essentially achieved, the F3S decided to publish a history of this struggle. This has now appeared as an attractive booklet entitled "Saving Wilderness in the Oregon Cascades: The Story of the Friends of the Three Sisters" by Lawrence C. Merriam. This booklet outlines the 45 years efforts by F3S, contains photographs and biographical sketches of most of the people important in the group, and other materials. It is available for $8.00 from Frances Newsom (phone 344-1298). It is also available in area libraries or for sale in The Book Mark and J Michaels book stores. Our Society also has a copy or two available for reading. Come to the meeting to borrow one. Bayard and Evelyn McConnaughey |
