Edwin Russell (E.R.) Jackman was an American agricultural expert from Oregon. He worked for Oregon State University as a rural extension agent and a farm crop specialist from 1929 until 1959. In this capacity, he advised local farmers and ranchers on modern agricultural techniques, land use, and conservation practices.〔("Historical Note" ), ''Edwin Russell Jackman Papers'', Archives and Records Management Program, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon: 2 January 2014.〕〔("Jackman, E.R., Papers" ), University Archives, Oregon State University Library, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon: 18 June 1999.〕 His professional papers and photograph collection are in the Oregon State University archives. This includes his original notes, publication draft, and correspondence related to ''The Oregon Desert'' book.〔("Scope and Content Note" ), ''Edwin Russell Jackman Papers'', Archives and Records Management Program, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon: 2 January 2014.〕
R. A. (Reub) Long was a rancher and local historian from Fort Rock in south-central Oregon. He was widely known as a cowboy philosopher and witty story teller.〔("Reub Long's Oregon Desert" ), ''The Oregon Experience'', Oregon Public Broadcasting, first broadcast 30 October 2006.〕 He was also a long-time member of Oregon's State Board of Agriculture and donated property to the State of Oregon to create Fort Rock State Natural Area.〔("The Reub A. Long Professorship" ), ''The Campaign for OSU'', Oregon State University Foundation, ''www.campaignforosu.org'', Corvallis, Oregon: 2 January 2014.〕〔("Fort Rock State Natural Area" ), Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Salem, Oregon: 11 January 1914.〕 A generation after his death, Long is still one of Oregon's best-known story tellers. This is due in part to the success of ''The Oregon Desert''.〔〔Tonsfeldt, Ward and Paul G. Claeyssens, ("Telling Stories" ), ''Oregon History Project'', Oregon Historical Society: 2004.〕〔Jackman, E.R. and R.A. Long, (''The Oregon Desert'' ), Caxton Press, Caldwell, Idaho: 1964.〕
Jackman and Long began working together on conservation projects in the 1940s. This was the beginning of a lifelong friendship. In 1964, the two men got together to write ''The Oregon Desert'', a book about the natural history and people of Oregon's high desert.〔Ramsey, Jarold, ("Reub Long (1898-1974)" ), ''The Oregon Encyclopedia'', Portland State University and Oregon Historical Society, Portland, Oregon: 2 January 2014.〕 According to the Caxton Press, "Reub Long is a cowboy who thinks like a scientist and E. R. Jackman is a scientist who thinks like a cowboy. Together they produced a book about a unique region of the American West and its inhabitants, filled with history, lore, and humor."〔
