I read The Golden Spruce many years ago, and your mention of it reminded me that I was working as a summer lab assistant at UBC in the tree physiology lab when Hadwin killed it with his chainsaw, and all the researchers were running around trying to figure out how to clone the damn thing. It was eventually grafted successfully in Ontario, I believe. I think there was an old cutting from the original tree from the 1970s that they managed to turn into a seedling to replant next to the stump. I really need to go back to Haida Gwaii to check it out - it's a beautiful place. I've been twice now, for both work and pleasure.

Also, a book about female white nationalists?? This is something I need to look for. I just ordered Jane Borden's book "Cults Like Us" which looks at the link between the Puritanical roots of the U.S. and the things that make your country so weird. :)

I don't know if you've read this book about a supposed PNW serial killer, but it's probably your kind of thing: https://uwapress.uw.edu/book/9780295751207/the-port-of-missing-men/
