Snake Valley Pioneers

Also available:

"The Baker Family & Baker Stories"
by George T. Baker

This is his journal with individual stories that went on in Baker in the early years as well as information about the original Baker family.

"The Revised Edition of Snake Valley Pioneers" Book

Patsy (Baker) Schlabsz and Bobbi Jo (Schlabsz) Magner continue the work of Boyd E. Quate who published "Pioneers of Snake Valley 1865-1935" in 1992. They've added new research and photos in this history of our communities including Burbank, Garrison, Baker, and more. It contains family histories and memoirs including stories about famous outlaws and descriptions of what life was like for these hardy families of our not so distant past. Patsy and Bobbi Jo are also gathering more information for a future second edition. For more information or to order your copy of the book, please contact Patsy Schlabsz at:
