Troy is an amateur historian who has had a love of history since he was a little kid. Today Troy spends a lot of his free time researching Washington State history. Our episode today is focused on the Puget Sound Indian War of 1855-1856.

Troy has a passion for maps especially old maps. We chat about maps of Washington both Washington Territory and Washington State. Using maps Troy and his friend Jerry Kenyon recreated William Tolmie's 1833 expedition from Fort Nisqually to Mt Rainier you can listen to Troy and Jerry talk about the journey on episode 117,

Troy provides background on the Native American tribes and how they interacted with the original traders that began arriving in the Puget Sound in the 1700's By the 1850's the

settlers were having issues with the Native Americans and in the Puget Sound this came to a boil in 1855.

Troy provides a lot of information in a easy going manner and makes history fun and entertaining. Perhaps he should of been a history teacher.
