I have taken some liberties with geography in this novel, but Dog River, Oregon, exists, although it is no longer called by that name. There really is such a place as the Lost Forest, and it really is not on most maps.
I wish to acknowledge my debt to the authors of two books not mentioned in the text: Jesus the Magician, by Morton Smith (Harper. 1978), and The Trial and Death of Jesus, by Haim Cohn (Harper,1971).
