A resident of the lower Rogue River whose family roots trace back four generations, Bo Shindler’s great-grandfather was a gill net fisherman for the Hume Cannery at the mouth of the Rogue River during the late-1800s. Nurturing a life-long passion for the Rogue River and surrounding areas, today Bo spends most of his days at a rustic off-grid cabin located next to Shindler’s Riffle, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the lower Rogue River and experiencing all that comes with being perched on a bluff overlooking a river. Most of his research is done in the Shindler cabin library, and the latest result is Bo’s new book, “Oregon’s Isolate Coast, When A Continent and Ocean Collide”, a fascinating 10,000 year history of the area that captures rich geologic fabric, life among indigenous peoples, and early Euro immigration into this isolated and beautiful part of the Southern Oregon Coast. For anyone wanting to read the most complete and accurate historical account of this region and its people, this book is a must have!
