In this field episode of Underground History, Chelsea Rose visits the archives of the Southern Oregon Historical Society. She's joined by historian Peter Boag, a professor at Washington State University working on a biography of an early Northwest landscape painter, William Samuel Parrott (1844-1915), and SOHS curator Anna Sloan.

Together, they examine paintings in SOHS's archive depicting scenes of our region.
