Magic Valley the story of St. Joseph Academy and the blossoming of Yakima by Ellis Lucia, Sisters of Charity of Providence 
Published in 1976, Ellis Lucia’s Magic Valley chronicles the founding of St. Joseph Academy by the Sisters of Providence and its profound influence on the early development of Yakima, Washington. The narrative intertwines the institutional history of this pioneer Catholic school with the broader agricultural and civic expansion of the region. The book offers the keen insight that these frontier nuns functioned as critical civic architects, establishing the essential educational and social infrastructure that allowed a rugged agrarian settlement to successfully "blossom" into a cohesive, enduring community. 48 pages : illustrations, facsimiles ; 21 x 23 cm CIRC [ 0 ]

Beckoning the bold story of the dawning of Idaho by Rafe Gibbs 
Idaho…it has one of the most colorful pasts of all the last-frontier states, and the color has not faded with the sunsets of yesteryear. Indeed, the bold pioneers who defied the mighty mountains and parched plains in quest of fortune—and new homes—left sharply etched, as if on stone, their marks of rugged individualism. And the only rubbing off has been on the people who live there today. Idaho is well worth knowing, for to know it is not only to understand how the West was won but why it was worth the winning. v, 266 pages, 8 unnumbered leaves of plates : illustrations ; 24 cm CIRC [ 0 ]

Fields & pine trees by Opal Lambert Ross, Kenneth Platt 
Published in 1977 as Local History Paper No. 2 by the Latah County Historical Society. The tide of pioneer settlers that swept into the Palouse Country a hundred years ago came from the west. [. . .] The first lappings of this tide reached Idaho in 1869-70, touching at Pine Creek in the north end of what is now Latah County, at Kennedy Ford and Moscow in the middle, and at Genesee at the south end. The account given by Opal Lambert Ross covers the Pine Creek community. There, on January 1, 1872, Lyman Davenport made the first homestead entry registered in Latah County. [. . .] Mrs. Ross ably tells the story in a microcosmic record of the Pioneer period. Her tracing of each homestead down to its present ownership is a further service to history, as well as a benchmark for possible future study. -The Editor 71 pages : illustrations, maps, portraits ; 29 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

Seattle, past to present by Roger Sale 
Seattle, Past to Present, interprets the history of the foremost city in the Northwest and traces the implications of that history for the city's present and future. In the process Seattle emerges not as a rough, half-formed frontier town but as a soft city of streets and houses, middle-class in aspiration and achievement; Roger Sale asks how it came to be that way. Roger Sale’s Seattle, Past to Present has become a beloved reflection of Seattle’s history and its possible futures as imagined in 1976, when the book was first published. Drawing on demographic analysis, residential surveys, portraiture, and personal observation and reflection, Sale provides his take on what was most important in each of Seattle’s main periods, from the city’s founding, when settlers built a city great enough that the railroads eventually had to come; down to the post-Boeing Seattle of the 1970s, when the city was coming to terms with itself based on lessons from its past. Along the way, Sale touches on the economic diversity of late nineteenth-century Seattle that allowed it to grow; describes the major achievements of the first boom years in parks, boulevards, and neighborhoods of quiet elegance; and draws portraits of people like Vernon Parrington, Nellie Cornish, and Mark Tobey, who came to Seattle and flourished. The result is a powerful assessment of Seattle’s vitality, the result of old-timers and newcomers mixing both in harmony and in antagonism. xx, 273 pages, 12 unnumbered leaves of plates : illustrations ; 24 cm CIRC [ 0 ]
