Now a sleepy little town, Dayton grew as a river port, the
head of navigation on the Yamhill River, not far upstream
from the Willamette. It was an important early commercial
center before improved land routes took over its primary function.

| Grand
Encampment Copper Towns |
|
|
|
|
|
This book provides a concise history of the Grand Encampent
copper excitement in southern Wyoming. Discovery of rich copper
led to a rush and the formation of towns at Battle, Rambler,
Copperton, Dillon, Rudefeha, Riverside, and Encampment. The
Rudefeha mine is at 10,000 feet; to get the ore out they built
a 16-mile tramway, and a railroad was built down from Rawlins.
The book features early photos as well as the ruins left today.
