Northwest Passages-Episode 83: Company Towns of the Pacific NW

Douglas Furr
Many of the towns that were started by mining or logging companies are still in existance today, a far cry from where they mostly were inhabited by brawny and sometimes ornery workers who scratched out a living in the remote areas of the PNW. Thanks to author Linda Carlson for a fine piece of writing and for her excellent reading of four passages for this series.
