In this episode, outdoors intern Olivia Stevens transports listeners to what was once a booming logging town in northeastern Oregon. It was also a town where Black people lived and worked at a time when it was illegal for them to do so because of Oregon's racist laws.

Now, 100 years after the founding of Maxville, a descendant's efforts to bring to light the triumphs and challenges of Black loggers in Oregon are gaining widespread traction at the Maxville Heritage Interpretive Center.
