In this book, Douglas  Wilson uses historical documents, Indigenous oral traditions, and the  material record to provide a comprehensive overview of the region’s  historical archaeology from the seventeenth through the twenty-first  centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book covers Lewis and Clark’s Fort  Clatsop; fur trade forts such as Fort Vancouver, Fort Langley, and Fort  Nez Percés; Indigenous villages such as Middle Village and Yuquot; the  Christian mission at Waiilatpu; the Oregon Trail; the settler town of  Champoeg; and military locations including Fort Lane, San Juan Island,  and Fork Hoskins. Wilson describes how extractive industries like  fishing, mining, logging, and fur trapping transformed the environment  and the human population. He also discusses transportation, urban  development, racism, and government policies through the Great  Depression and World War II. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentral to the story of the  American experience in the Pacific Northwest is the heritage and history  of local Indigenous peoples, as well as descendant communities of  European, African, Asian, and Pacific Islands ancestry. Wilson shows how  material artifacts and landscapes can be compared with the documentary  record to critically examine colonial and nationalistic narratives,  illuminating the past and present of Indigenous peoples and immigrant  groups in the region.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA volume in the series the American Experience in Archaeological Perspective, edited by Michael S.
