Tillamook Light a true narrative of Oregon's Tillamook Rock Lighthouse by Jim Gibbs 
The lighthouse keeper has gone the way of the iceman and blacksmith, but in the case of Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, the story remains--a complete history of :Terrible Tilly,: seasoned with salty drama and some hilarious adventure. Gibbs, a former Coastguardsman stationed at the infamous rock off Oregon's northwest shores, knows that wild crag from the inside out, and he has supplemented his account with what happened before he arrived on the scene, and since closure of the light in 1957. Many fine photos keep pace with the action. 145 pages. xi, 145 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

Profanity Hill by Irene Burns Miller 
In Profanity Hill, Irene Burns Miller recounts her 1940 experience as the sole relocation supervisor tasked with clearing a decaying Seattle neighborhood to make way for the Yesler Terrace public housing project. The book details her daily interactions with the area's diverse and marginalized residents, including sex workers, immigrants, and impoverished families who were facing eviction despite the city having almost no rental vacancy. Through personal anecdotes, Miller highlights the stark power dynamics and emotional toll of dismantling a tightly knit, albeit crumbling, community in the name of urban progress. Ultimately, the narrative chronicles the complete displacement of the neighborhood's original inhabitants to pave the way for a newly constructed vision of public housing. iv, 139 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

New Spain's far northern frontier essays on Spain in the American West, 1540-1821 by David J. Weber , George P. Hammond, Donald C. Cutter, Odie B. Faulk, Sandra L. Myres, Marc Simmons, Albert H. Schroeder, John L. Kessell, James H. Sutton Jr and Sylvia Leal Carvajal Collection 
This is a collection of some of the finest studies, eighteen of them, which have appeared on aspects of the historical past of New Spain's Far Northern Frontier. It is intended primarily as a reader to supplement a course on the so-called Spanish Borderlands, putting at the easy disposal of the student outstanding bits of scholarship, developed, with one or other exception, in the 1960s and 1970s. The book can be valuable to the scholar, making quickly available as it does these same studies, which other-wise might have to be run down in the file of journals in which each appeared. The editor has prefaced the volume with a thoughtful and thought-provoking Introduction, in which he offers his concept of the place of Spain's borderlands in American history. The editor has also furnished a setting for each piece, along with a mini-biographical note and short bibliography of the works of each author. He has added "Suggestions for Further Reading and Research." Two of the essays-Albert H. Schroeder, "Shifting for Survival in the Spanish Southwest" (1968), and George Harwood Phillips, "Indians and the Breakdown of the Spanish Mission System in California" (1974)-have direct Indian pertinence. Many of the others have valuable insights for the student of the Native Americans. The book is welcome as a student reader and a convenient reference tool for the scholar of Spain in North America. -- JOHN FRANCIS BANNON, Saint Louis University xix, 321 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm CIRC [ 0 ]
