Ft Stevens …1942 Japanese submarine shelling…there are bunkers all along the coast. This is a continuation of the theme we heard further south, the forest fires from incendiary bombs dropped by the Japanese. Now I better understand the mindset (not that I necessarily agree with it) that led to the internment of Japanese-Americans during that time.
Lewis and Clark had a big dog (Newfoundland) named Seaman with them on their journey. The Canadians had explored from Montreal all the way to the Pacific in the 1700s, long before Lewis and Clark. Clark adopted Sacajawea’s first born. The trip cost over $38,000 instead of the $2,500 Lewis estimated beforehand.
