Anyone in Portland in the 1960s and early 70s?

A book has been published about the radical movement during that time period. Radicals in the Rose City: Portland's Revolutionaries 1960-1975. The antiwar movement, civil rights and the Panthers, women's and gay movements are among the things covered. The two authors were involved: Nygren was Oregon's first Vietnam draft resistor (he was sent to prison as a result) and Nelson was Chair of SDS at Portland State in the late 60s. It was published by Northwest History Press. They can be reached at nwhistorypress.com.
