Now retired, journalist Joann Green Byrd worked on newspapers ranging from the East Oregonian in Pendleton to the Washington Post—with the late Seattle Post-Intelligencer in there along the way. She now—we're happy to report—joins the ranks of those writing some of the history that needs its stories told, as she is here with her debut book, Calamity: The Heppner Flood of 1903 (University of Washington Press). Set in her home country of northeast Oregon, Joann Byrd writes of a calamitous thunderstorm and its ensuing flood which killed over 200 of Heppner's 1300 inhabitants. "A riveting story abut a heart-breaking event." - Gerald Baldasty.
