The book's text and its many features highlight a more inclusive past than textbooks from previous generations [...] Drawing sometimes from local newspapers and occasionally from interviews brings voices of immediacy from the past to the reader. - <b>Oregon Historical Quarterly (2017)<br /><br /></b>My community college students appreciate the storytelling [and] the brief topical narratives touching on the book's thematic approach. My favorite aspect is the use of primary sources, all of which are footnoted, and the extensive bibliographies at the back of each chapter. The notes are not intrusive, and students come away with a keen sense of how historians think and write [...] Jepsen and Norberg have given us an interesting way to conceptualize invisible borders, and it's a theme that my students and I can dig into as we share and reflect on the multitude of narratives and competing viewpoints that continue to shape this region. - <b>Anna Booker, Whatcom Community College (2019)</b><br /><br /><b> <br /></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>David Jepsen </b>is a former journalist and corporate marketing professional who has been writing professionally for 40 years.
