R. Gregory Nokes, Northwest author of Breaking Chains: Slavery on Trial in the Oregon Territory
Breaking Chains: Slavery on Trial in the Oregon Territory tells the story of slaves brought to Oregon from Missouri in the late 1800's. It is told against the background of the national controversy over slavery that led to Civil Way in 1861. Relying on court testimony, Nokes' book includes a rare account of the relationship between a slave and his master from the slave's point of view. He recounts the 15-month court battle in which former slaves Robin and Polly Holmes sought to free their three children held by Missouri emigrant Nathaniel Ford.

Customer Reviews
Jazzy down wit da Newton show.
I LOVE this podcast!!
It’s about time that a really down to earth interviewer showed up. So tired of all the bias and political B.S. Somebody who doesn’t talk over the people she is interviewing. With great questions. A friend from Bend OR turned me on to this show. So glad it’s a podcast now. Even though I’m not always interested in who she’s interviewing, the way she interviews is just too good to not listen. And that voice!!!..., uh ya, so sexy!!!
Give this show a try, I know you’ll own a chickapig game within a week.
Thanks for the ear full of interesting happiness every week Dawn Newton!!
