Jeffrey LaLande talks about “The Jackson County Rebellion”

Local historian and archeologist Jeff Lalande will discuss his new book, “The Jackson County Rebellion” — a chronicle of a historic populist uprising during the Great Depression — at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 12, at Southern Oregon University’s Hannon Library, in the Meese Room, according to a news release.

The talk, hosted by Friends of the Hannon Library, is free and open to the public. A Zoom link will also be available at https://hanlib.sou.edu/friends/lectureseries.html.

Lalande’s presentation will focus on a historic local event that national media took note of. It involved the theft of ballots at the hands of county officials, resulting in a community response that eventually led to fatal violence. The Medford Mail Tribune, a newspaper that closed in 2022 after more than 100 years of covering the Rogue Valley, won a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the event.

There is metered parking for in-person attendees in parking lots 1, 12, 29, 36, 37, and 41. Those who need disability accommodations can contact SOU’s Disability Resources office at 541-552-6213.

Thorndike, 71, suffered a heart attack early Saturday morning, just following a Valentine’s Day spent with his wife, Angela Thorndike, at a family cabin on Whidbey Island in Washington’s Puget Sound.
