Sagebrush War anyone? I've been in guidebook heaven (hell?) the last couple weeks and I know more about Oregon history and national parks than I ever thought I would. I'm also discovering some interesting (and mostly moronic) libertarian literature that invokes the Sagebrush War for inspiration. For those that are not bored senseless already, the Sagebrush War involved the breakaway Republic of Nataqua which for 8 years existed outside the bounds of the US, California or Nevada territories. Susanville, CA was the capital... back to work...
