Anyone who wants to know more about what shaped Tom McCall as a person needs to know about his remarkable mother, Dorothy Lawson McCall. She published two memoirs, "The Copper King's Daughter," which told about her growing up as the daughter of one of the richest men in America, and "Ranch Under the Rimrock," the tale of her early life on the central Oregon property where Tom McCall grew up.
