About this episode

The episode explores the life of Ranald MacDonald, an unrecognized Indian prince and grandson of a Chinook chief, who embarked on a journey that impacted three nations.

Young Ranald MacDonald didn't know he was the grandson of Concomly, Chief of the Chinook Tribe. But before anyone could tell him, he'd run away to sea — and in so doing, dramatically changed the destiny of three great nations.(Astoria, Clatsop County; 1820s, 1830s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1409c305.ranald-macdonald-part1.html)
