Episode 22 Unhappy Tales and Trails from Oregon

<p>Jeanette digs into the story of Oregon's second largest wartime city, and it's tragic demise in 1948 through flood.  Temporary housing, hastily created for African-American workers was swept away in a matter of minutes, when the town flooded, as many of their Portland neighbors looked the other way.  </p> <p>In part 2, we go a little lighter with the origin of the Original "Oregon Trail" Game.
