Overview

Settled in 1868, Prineville was the first community in Central Oregon.

Primarily focused on the livestock industry, the area experienced a period of vigilante action in the 1880s and sheep-and-cattle wars just after the turn of the 20th century. Prineville remained the predominant community in the region until about 1915, when major railroads arrived and passed over it. This book showcases key images of Prineville, beginning with its first-known photograph in 1881 up until the early 2000s.

Steve Lent has authored several books on local history and provides historical perspectives to both the past and present photographs.
