The last wilderness by Murray Morgan 
First published in 1955, this book tells the lively and entertaining story of the Olympic Peninsula, "the fist of land thrust north between Puget Sound and the Pacific Ocean, a wilderness area of six thousand square miles, as large as the state of Massachusetts, more rugged than the Rockies, its lowlands blanketed by a cool jungle of fir and pine and cedar, its peaks bearing hundreds of miles of living ice that gave rise to swift rivers alive with giant salmon; the first land in the Pacific Northwest to be reported by explorers, the last to be mapped--the last wilderness." Murray Morgan has recorded the epic adventures of the pioneers of this remote region in this rousing and humor-filled saga, one that should capture the imagination of Americans everywhere.--Publisher's description xi, 275 pages ; 20 cm.

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 ]

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 ]
