Humanities in the Harbor Presents: “Contested Boundaries: a New Pacific Northwest History”

Humanities in the Harbor will continue in January with a special presentation by author David Jepsen on our region’s contentious history.

The two-centuries-old conflict between people and governments struggling for control over Pacific Northwest land and resources, including lumber-rich areas like Gig Harbor, is the subject of the presentation. Gig Harbor resident David Jepsen, who teaches Pacific Northwest and U.S. history at Tacoma Community College, will discuss his new book Contested Boundaries: a New Pacific Northwest History.
