Presented by Kathryn Sinor, uncover the incredible story involving one Lake Oswego man, multiple women, and 306 love letters sent over the course of two years in "Burn After Reading: Oswego Love Letters from 1919 - 1921".In 2020, a collection of love letters was discovered in the attic of a historic house in Lake Oswego. They revealed the story of a local man freshly back from World War I and the 306 love letters sent to him by multiple young women. Discover the voices of these women, the hardships they faced, and the love they shared, all the way from a Washington logging camp to a Portland hotel to an Oregon schoolhouse in a present-day ghost town. In this lecture by Kathryn Sinor, delve into the lives and perspectives that often get washed away to history, all through the eyes of an Oswego heartbreaker.
