John McLoughlin's business correspondence, 1847-48 by John McLoughlin, William R. Sampson , Washington State Historical Society 
John McLoughlin held the role as chief factor in the Columbia Department of the Hudson's Bay Company. His career following his retirement from the company in 1846 is less well known. In 1962, the United States National Park Service acquired the McLoughlin letter book. These letters provide insights into the wide range of his interests and affairs in Oregon City, and they show his continuing relations, both economic and personal, with the Hudson's Bay Company and its officers. The letters also provide an increased understanding of the problems and frustrations that a frontier community had in struggling to diversify and expand its economy.--adapted from the preface li, 179 pages illustrations 24 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

Pig-tail days in old Seattle by Sophie Frye Bass 
ONLY SOME TWELVE DECADES have passed since the first small band of settlers dug clams along the beach and built their cabins at Alki Point where Seattle, Washington, had its beginning. When the men came from Alki, after sounding the harbor and finding good anchorage for ships, they staked their claims on February 15, 1852, built their cabins on tiny patches of land they had cleared in the forest, and then began the survey through the heavy timber for the future great city. Seattle's streets still carry many of the names of those first settlers-or names bestowed by them-and in the following pages are the historically true, and often amusing, stories of the early days of these streets-how they looked, who walked along them; all the friendly, gossipy beginnings, recalled by the granddaughter of Arthur Armstrong Denny, founder and surveyor of the city.

The Clearwater of Idaho by Cecil P. Dryden 
I write about a river I feel close to, having known it for well over a half century. My father's "benchland" ranch was just over the ridge from the narrow valley through which the Clearwater plows its urgent way to sea level. I have observed this river in all its vagaries; its spring rampagings which have set ferries adrift, lifted bridges from their piers, washed out trackage, and inundated highways; its summer somnolence; and its colorful September thinness which brings into view all the sumacbedecked islands, including "turkey-man's paradise," made safe by two channels against marauding coyotes. Although I know something about the land carved by the river, for this story I have relied in large measure on the works of numerous scholars whose research has left a legacy rich in Idaho lore. The book owes a special debt of gratitude to the following: Sister Alfreda Elsensohn for her monumental two-volume History of Idaho County; the late Robert G. Bailey, who produced the indispensable River of Not Return and Hell's Canyon, and his son, R. G. Bailey, Jr., for granting permission to use the photographs from River of No Return. Further, I am indebted to Potlatch Forests, Incorporated, for making available information and photographs. This book is an informal history of the Clearwater drainage area, including borderlands whose history naturally interweaves. I have not attempted to follow in detail all the threads of growth from their beginnings, but have stressed origins and directions in a setting of unfolding dramas. If certain characters and events have been omitted, the reason lies in the selective process that has had to be employed. -The Author, Cecil Dryden 258 pages illustrations 21 cm. CIRC [ 1 ]

Island year by Hazel Heckman , Laurie Olin (Illustrator) 
In her first book, Island in the Sound, Heckman brought to life Anderson Island in Puget Sound, its people, its history, and its sadly vanishing way of life. Now, in this book, she brings the same clarity of vision, warmth, and insight to the natural life of her island, recording the cycle of the seasons as an appreciative and articulate observer. This is a diary of the natural world where the same things happen again and again but are always new. Each month brings surprises, expected or not: the blossoming of the wild red flower currant in March, the appearance of a pod of killer whales in July. Mrs. Heckman’s gift to the reader, as in all of the best nature writing, is to let us see it through her eyes, as if never seen before. But the developers have arrived, and the natural world of the Island is as threatened as the way of life of its people. Mrs. Heckman knows that Anderson Island is not the Grand Canyon, that its destruction will never arouse great public indignation, but while it exists as one of the ‘little wild places’ she is able to share it and her love for it. xi, 255 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm CIRC [ 0 ]
