“Bear Grylls of the 1910s” had something to prove

About this episode

Joe Knowles' wilderness-survival demonstration had been a huge success, and made him famous. But he'd been dogged by rumors that he cheated. Now, a continent away, he was going to redeem his reputation with a second try ... in Oregon. (Holland, Josephine County; 1910s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1812e.joe-knowles-survival-guru-528.html)
