Description
Contested Boundaries: A New Pacific Northwest History
David J. Jepsen will discuss his book Contested Boundaries: a New Pacific Northwest History. He argues that the history of the Pacific Northwest is a two-centuries-old conflict between people and governments struggling for control over the region’s land and resources, especially in lumber-rich areas like Grays Harbor.
His appearance is part of the museum’s “Is Your History Here?” program, designed to encourage Grays Harbor County residents to embrace the region’s past.
Jepsen, an historian, educator and writer who teaches Pacific Northwest and U.S. history at Tacoma Community College, will share compelling stories about people of all colors and classes contesting the political, economic, and social barriers that blocked their path to equality and full participation in the region’s society
