Voices from the islands true stories about Washington State's fabulous San Juan Islands and those who inhabit them by Gordon Keith 
'Voices from the Islands' is must reading for anyone who has ever secretly or openly expressed a desire to live on a small island accessible only by boat or plane. In this potpourri of island stories, articles and interviews with old-timers as well as new-comers, you will meet such diverse individuals as Little Wolf, the Stuart Island Indian who was ‘raised with the wolves’; and a cartoonist who moved to an island to retire, but is presently syndicating his own cartoons nationally. You’ll meet an old-time individualist named Roger Purdue, who refused to let Orcas Island’s volunteer Fire Fighters on the roof of his house when the chimney burst into flames, because he didn’t want them walking around on his roof. There is also an interview with a former Hollywood script writer who gave up his lucrative assignments and moved to an island to live closer to nature. On the lighter side, there is an account of some Islanders who dumped an entire shipment of Seattle Post Intelligencers into the bay because of an article calling their town ‘the armpit of the San Juans.’ And, you’ll enjoy reading about the residents of a small island community who got their dander up when a 42-foot, state-owned cabin cruiser went aground and was left with no one aboard. Outraged at what seemed sheer negligence by the state, several islanders towed the vessel to the Olga dock, intending to hold it for salvage. “How to Win a Political Campaign with the Help of Your Opponent” is a humorous incident from Henry Jackson’s early days as an aspiring senator. Besides the thirty-three articles and interviews - illustrated by more than fifty photographs—-the author tells why he moved to the San Juans and why it took him and his family seven years, after they had purchased their Orcas Island home, before they could move into it. Whether you read Voices from the Islands for an intimate look at island life, or just to while away a few pleasant hours, you will find your time well spent. xvii, 278 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

The Columbia is coming! by Doris Andersen 
From 1905 to 1969, people along the British Columbia coast knew and loved the ships and men of the Columbia Coast Mission. The fiery John Antle started the service, primarily to provide isolated logging camps, Indians and settlers with much-needed medical facilities; in addition, there were religious services and social occasions - weddings, picnics, visits, libraries and the famous Christmas parties. This is the story of those sturdy little ships, their warm-hearted, practical skipper-chaplains and doctors, and their important role in the history of the coast 205 pages, 40 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, map, portraits ; 23 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

Main Street, northeastern Oregon the founding and development of small towns by Barbara Ruth Bailey 
Main Street, Northeastern Oregon details the early development of a fascinating variety of communities in one of this country's most remote and spectacular regions. Collectively and through case studies, the author follows their growth, adaptation to changing economies and social patterns, and frequently their failure - out of 52 towns founded between 1862 and 1915, only 23 have survived to the 1980s. Northeastern Oregon's earliest towns grew up along the Oregon Trail and stage routes, others soon appearing along newly built railroads and adjacent to rivers, in mining districts, agricultural valleys and timbered areas. Founded for a variety of reasons - to make their founders money, to serve passing traffic, or to supple surrounding districts - they developed at different rates, and each took on a unique character. As the economic and social hub of these towns, and their architectural showpiece, northeastern Oregon's main streets exhibit a wide, though not unpredictable, range of personalities. --- excerpt from book's back cover xviii, 219 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

Lively narratives describe adventures of early explorers with pack trains, and accounts of riding the first steam boats on Lake Chelan. Writing styles of the 1900’s paint vivid and enticing pictures of exciting journeys to the upper mining holds in Horseshoe Basin, the presence of Native Americans, and the influence of the railroad bringing visitors clear across the country to relax and recreate in glorious mountain surroundings. Republished by Stehekin Heritage, Carol Stone’s collection of stories are gathered from early local newspaper articles and explorer’s journals. For those that know and love Stehekin, or wish to know how settlement began in this remote community, Glimpses of the Past is a worthy compilation and reference of accurate history of the Chelan area. xi, 248 pages : illustrations, map, portrait ; 22 cm CIRC [ 1 ]
