Two local demagogues relentlessly issued reckless (and untrue) charges and baseless accusations in their newspapers. Their campaign to wrest control of county government away from the local establishment successfully stoked resentment and anger among hard-pressed residents. Now known as the “Jackson County Rebellion,” this dramatic episode gained Southern Oregon unwanted negative attention nationally, and ended in ballot theft and murder. LaLande will discuss past events, as well as how he came to be interested in them and eventually came to write a book about what occurred in Jackson County.
