For that matter I would love to hear more about the locals and the local scene that was happening around that area during the time of the hijacking. I think it might be somewhat related. If you don't feel like discussing it here maybe some day we could discuss it over a plate (bucket?) of oysters. I have always wanted to try fresh raw oysters but I live in Ohio lol. Kinda a bucket list type of thing.
The only local "Cooper book" author that I can think of, besides myself - although I live and work 80 miles northeast of Vancouver, WA - are the Formans, who live ten miles north of me. Then there's always, RMB, another ten miles north of the Formans in Auburn.
Ha, Ha, Ha was written originally in Vancouver, WA, but the author now lives in Sedro Wooley, which is north of Seattle. He admitted that all the Cooper stuff came from the Vancouver newspapers he read in the library.
Doug Perry lives and writes in Portland, though. He's the Portland Oregonian guy.
Oops. How could I forget Himmelsbach. He wrote in Portland. Tosaw lived in Sacramento, but he camped out on the shores of the Columbia for many summers.

Easy to forget Ralph Himmelsbach’s book ! It’s my last favorite ! Why ? Boring, full of obvious inaccuracies !
