The book explores the historical development of Camas, Oregon, founded by Henry Pittock in 1883 as a paper mill site. Named after the Camas lily, significant to the Chinook tribes, the colony thrived on agriculture. Incorporated in 1906 to regulate alcohol during Prohibition, Camas evolved through the mid-20th century as high-tech industries emerged alongside its traditional paper mill. Today, visitors enjoy the town's quaint cafes and antique shops at the Port of Camas, a site that once served as a rough landing amidst dense forests.

Named for a British sea explorer, Vancouver was conceived in the early 1800s when Lewis and Clark camped at the waterfront and deemed the area ripe for settlement. The Hudson's Bay Company soon established its fur-trading empire here, and "Fort Vancouver" became the commercial center of the area. In 1849 American troops set up Columbia Barracks nearby, establishing the area as a military stronghold. In 1857 the city of Vancouver was incorporated, and gradually became an important industrial and residential city. Vancouver is now a big city, and along with nearby Portland, Oregon, is home to high-tech, maritime, lumber, and manufacturing industries.
