Overview
Murder, Myth, and Memory in Cascadia.
Before the states of Oregon and Washington, the Pacific Northwest already had a reputation as a place with a dark and sometimes mysterious history.
Whispers of strange noises, oddities, and sightings of the unnatural become part of the area's folklore, hoping to find meaning for the suffering of those who came before. Over two thousand ships have been lost off the coast, along with an untold number of lives, and the suffering of those on the Oregon Trail has been well-recounted. The Columbia River, meandering through the heart of the territory, has been the site of countless disappearances and deaths.
From the decimation of Native Tribes to racist settlement laws and anti-Chinese sentiment, the Pacific Northwest has long struggled to reconcile the present with the past.
Join author and historian Ira Wesley Kitmacher as he explores the dark history of Oregon and Washington and the stories that reverberate through time.
