#33 WW2 Sailor- Eyewitness To Catastrophe Part Two
Mort Jenkins ended his "running log" with an amazing first hand account of the USS Mount Hood exploding in Seeadler Harbor. In this episode, you will hear what Mort wrote after witnessing this "horrible beauty" of an explosion. He wrote so descriptively and honestly about what he saw and how he felt about it--truly wonderful writing and very real.
Thank you to our good friend Keith Adams for his narration of Mort's entries!

#35 Gunfights, Murder, Bank Robbery, and Frontier Justice.
The 1891-92 Diary of former sheriff, Frederick D. Schnebly, led us to discover a couple of significant stories we share in this episode--the murder of an innocent newly wed couple and an armed bank robbery in a coal town. You will also hear of "seduction trials", a vigilante mob, a jail break, and regular towns people armed and ready to administer "frontier justice". All of this took place in the Wild West of Washington State-- not usually the first place a person thinks of in this regard.
We also share one of our favorite towns to visit--Roslyn, Washington, the site of the bank robbery and where the bank still exists as a candy shop.
