Before the Coos Bay Wagon road was built in 1872, the settlers in Oregon’s Bay Area were more closely connected to San Francisco than they were to the rest of Oregon. Steve Greif is a former history teacher and track and cross country coach at North Bend High School, and a board member of the Coos County Historical Society. He’s giving a series of presentations about the road in honor of its 150th anniversary. Grief joins us to talk about the region’s history and geography.
