the south bank for the Rogue River at Battle Bar. The Battle Bar was the site
of a major battle between Colonel Kelsey's calvary and the Takelma Indians in
the 1850's. The cabin at Battle Bar was build by Bob Fox, who planned on making
it a fishing resort, but he was unable to finish it before his neighbor, Jack
Mahoney shot and killed him in 1947.
 Further down the river at Winkle Bar stands the Zane
Gray Cabin. Zane Gray is the world famous western novelist. This cabin is
listed on the register of national historic places. Zane Gray was said to have
spent many fall season fishing and writing in this cabin.
Located at the mouth of Mule Creek is the
historic
Anderson Ranch. Originally built by the Billings family
before the turn of the century. The ranch was later sold to the Anderson
family who owned the original Hollywood Hotel in California. Now owned by the
BLM, the
Anderson Ranch is kept as a museum. It houses many artifacts from the early
pioneer days of the Rogue River canyon.
