A highly personal account of a Pacific Northwest rural childhood
during the Great Depression and World War II-in Pacific County,
bordered by both the Columbia River and Pacific Ocean, where had
come earlier the Keil Colony to establish their Commune in Menlo.
Children of loggers, fisherfolk and farmers attending the Willapa
Valley School in the mile-wide Willapa Valley named for a Chinookan
language Native American tribe, gone except in bloodlines of
descendants of some earlier immigrants. Families living ordinary
risks of dangerous work in a distressed economy, followed by threat
of invasion. Where neighbors longer in residence distrusted later
enemy alien immigrants of the same European background. Especially
when after an area-wide deliberately caused power outage, the FBI
came to check for sabotage.
