Nigel grew up in the remote copper mining camp of Holden, Washington deep in the Cascade Mountains near Lake Chelan. After earning a Doctorate degree he became Professor of History at Evergreen State College.
While writing of the history of mining at Holden he was diagnosed with cancer and died before he could complete the second and final part. Fortunately, the first part was printed and put in circulation.
Pictured below is Nigel at Lake Chelan in June 1957 standing on the Lucerne boat dock holding on his shoulders a neighbor boy, Martin Recknagel.
He enjoyed the great trail-hiking and fishing in the area, frequently staying out for several days.
