Sound heritage voices from British Columbia by Saeko Usukawa 
Voices of British Columbia presents the firsthand stories of the people with the courage, the dreams – and the plain stubbornness – to settle the Canadian frontier when it was still wild. These people talk candidly about the tragedy and the comedy, the good times and the rough times. Their authentic voices reveal what it was really like in those early days. Beginning with the legends and true stories of the native peoples, as well as the sagas of the early missionaries, this book tells tales all the way up to the lives and times of modern settlers on the frontier. This book is a collection of stories that appeared in BC’s oral history quarterly, Sound Heritage. 276 pages : illustrations, portraits ; 26 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

Stehekin glimpses of the past : a collection of early writings by Carol M. Stone (Compiler) 
A rare collection of the early history of the Stehekin valley, head of Lake Chelan, in Washington’s North Cascades. 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 ]

From A to Z in Latah County, Idaho a place name dictionary by Lalia Phipps Boone 
You name it, we've got it! Really a miniature encyclopedia, this book yields a wealth of historical and practical information about the names of places in Latah County, Idaho. Who were some of the prominent early settlers, businessmen, teachers? What happened to the almost ninety towns that have disappeared from the face of our maps? How many millions of dollars worth of gold have been mined here? Moscow wasn't really named by Russians, was it? Where are some good parks and campgrounds I can visit? And how could a place like "Yellow Dog" get a name like that? From A to Z in Latah County contains over 600 place names with twelve classified index lists including all towns, creeks, historic sites, mines, post offices, recreational sites, and schools. From "Abe" to "Zion" - it's all here! Lalia Boone is a retired professor of English from the University of Idaho. Her Idaho Place Name Project began in 1966 as a personal hobby when she moved to Moscow from a professorship at the University of Florida. Dr. Boone wanted to know where the place names that sounded so strange to her southern ears came from, what they meant, when and why they were chosen, and who chose them. 117, [3] pages ; 23 cm CIRC [ 1 ]
