John McLoughlin's business correspondence, 1847-48 by John McLoughlin, William R. Sampson , Washington State Historical Society
John McLoughlin held the role as chief factor in the Columbia Department of the Hudson's Bay Company. His career following his retirement from the company in 1846 is less well known. In 1962, the United States National Park Service acquired the McLoughlin letter book. These letters provide insights into the wide range of his interests and affairs in Oregon City, and they show his continuing relations, both economic and personal, with the Hudson's Bay Company and its officers. The letters also provide an increased understanding of the problems and frustrations that a frontier community had in struggling to diversify and expand its economy.--adapted from the preface li, 179 pages illustrations 24 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

From the forward by Simon K. Benson: “This new addition of Early History of North Idaho, but more particular the history of Latah County, Moscow (Paradise City) 1871, Troy (Huff Gulch) our first home after World War II. Some of the history first came out in a limited edition in 1903. I have republished with permission and the desire of many of the families, and chiefly as a tribute to my father-in-law Guy Senter (now deceased). “The book is a valuable reference work on early Northern Idaho and Latah County history from the explorations into the old Oregon territory, of which the counties of Northern Idaho were once a part. “This book can bring knowledge, enjoyment and memories for anyone who reads it. Books can have a wide distribution and bring joy as an ideal gift. “Perhaps everyone who ever lived in Latah County or had a parent or grandparent who did, can once again relive the nostalgic, exciting pages of the past. ‘Let’s live to give, learn, love, and remember.’” (276 pages) 276 pages : illustrations, portraits ; 21 cm CIRC [ 0 ]

Pig-tail days in old Seattle by Sophie Frye Bass 
ONLY SOME TWELVE DECADES have passed since the first small band of settlers dug clams along the beach and built their cabins at Alki Point where Seattle, Washington, had its beginning. When the men came from Alki, after sounding the harbor and finding good anchorage for ships, they staked their claims on February 15, 1852, built their cabins on tiny patches of land they had cleared in the forest, and then began the survey through the heavy timber for the future great city. Seattle's streets still carry many of the names of those first settlers-or names bestowed by them-and in the following pages are the historically true, and often amusing, stories of the early days of these streets-how they looked, who walked along them; all the friendly, gossipy beginnings, recalled by the granddaughter of Arthur Armstrong Denny, founder and surveyor of the city.
