reading history books for context: there have been other periods of political upheaval and seeming mass insanity. This will eventually pass.

Currently reading History of the state of Washington by Barto & Bullard, 1947.

Quote from the chapter I'm on:

Two men who came with the 1844 group were responsible for establishing settlements to the north. One of these was George W. Bush, a mulatto, who was well liked by those that knew him. Bush discovered when he got to Oregon, the settlers has just passed a law which forbade Negroes entering that region. Bush and several other families settled north of the Columbia, near fort Vancouver.

This was published in '47. Interesting stuff.
