Abraham Lincoln and the Washington Territory by H. D. Smiley is a 1987 historical study published by Ye Galleon Press that explores the 16th president's political and administrative relationship with the remote Pacific Northwest. The book delves into Lincoln's federal appointments, policies, and the legislative actions during the Civil War era that shaped the region, including the 1863 creation of the Idaho Territory that established Washington's modern boundaries. Ultimately, it provides a specialized look at how national wartime leadership and federal governance influenced the early frontier development of the Washington Territory.
