Off the coast of Oregon, the Columbia River flows into the Pacific Ocean and forms the Columbia River Bar: a watery collision so turbulent and deadly that it’s nicknamed the Graveyard of the Pacific. Two thousand ships have been wrecked on the bar since the first European ship dared to try to cross it. Since then, the commercial importance of the Columbia River has only grown, but despite the construction of jetties on either side, the bar remains treacherous.

Gripping retelling of historical events
Revisado: 06-19-24
I really enjoyed this book, to the point of listening to it multiple times. Other people who happened to wander by while I was listening to it had to stop and listen awhile during the more dramatic sea rescue stories. The parts about the psychology of abused kids was unexpected but seemed well-written. The narrator has a great voice, and the timber was a good match for the sometimes heavy material.
The worst part of this is the pronunciations of places, tribes, and people’s names. I doubt very much that the narrator has been to these areas or even bothered to google any of the important names. It is childish and OFFENSIVE to pronounce the tribe names and place names so atrociously. If I were his boss, I would make him redo all the mispronounced sections. These aren’t just random words; they’re history, and they represent real people. They deserve more than a modicum of respect. Time to do your homework, Mr. Narrator.
