Far corner, a personal view of the Pacific Northwest by Stewart H. Holbrook 
Far Corner is the saga of a latter-day pioneer who invaded the Pacific Northwest wearing the only derby hat those parts had ever seen. Athor Stewart H.Holbrook bought the hat in Boston just before he boarded the steam-cars to seek fame and fotune amidst the booms and busts of the roaring '20s. On his journey he discovered there were still people who liked fried elk for breakfast and noticed that not all cowboys were six feet tall and lithe. He was delighted with a hamlet named Pluvuus because one it rained for 362 days and the other three days, according to the sole resident, "was goddam cloudy." 270 pages 22 cm CIRC [ 0 ]

Tidewater Valley a story of the Swiss in Oregon by Jo Evalin Lundy, Margaret Ayer (Illustrator) 
From the Alps of Europe to America's green Northwest: that is the background for this heart-warming tale of the Swiss who, in the 1800's, brought their ancient arts and industries to a fertile valley on the Pacific Coast. To the dairy farm of stubborn, practical Uncle Karl and jolly, lovable Aunt Rosa, come orphaned Lisi Naegli and her crippled brother Chris from their home in Lucerne Canton. Sixteen-year-old Lisi's efforts to keep peace between Uncle Karl and young Chris, and her struggle to learn the ways of America make an endearing story, but behind her adventures and triumphs moves the larger story of the settlers' problems in finding markets for their dairy products and their attempts to make good cheese in a locality where popular opinion agreed it could not be done. 246 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm.
