Tonight at 6:30: Author Gregory Nokes

Join us at 6:30 tonight, February 24, when author Gregory Nokes discusses his book Massacred for Gold: The Chinese in Hells Canyon.

In 1887, more than thirty Chinese gold miners were massacred on the Oregon side of Hells Canyon, the deepest canyon in North America. Massacred for Gold, the first authoritative account of the unsolved crime—one of the worst of the many crimes committed by whites against Chinese laborers in the American West—unearths the evidence that points to an improbable gang of rustlers and schoolboys, one only fifteen, as the killers.
