An Obscure Booklet on the Tassajara early day


Tassajara by "Tassy" Oksen
- 1985 - from a woman who remembered Tassajara from over 100 years ago. 

This used to be in the Tassajara office for a while. Taiyo Lipscomb had some copies made to give to friends. I didn't know about it till recently Ted Howell got hold of me. He'd found it hidden away on some shelf at Tassajara and made a copy. He made this PDF and sent it off. Peter Ford reduced the size for the web. At cuke.com it's linked to on the pre-ZC Tassajara History page
