With angels to the rear an informal portrait of early Meadowdale by Delmar H. Caryl

Delmar H. Caryl’s With angels to the rear: an informal portrait of early Meadowdale chronicles the rugged pioneer settlement of a heavily forested enclave situated along the Puget Sound coastline in Snohomish County. Set against the steep, glacier-carved topography of Lunds Gulch and the dense timberlands north of Edmonds, the narrative details how early homesteaders and logging crews cleared the challenging terrain to establish isolated rural claims. By tracing the shared physical labor required to transition from transient timber operations to permanent agricultural and residential plots, the text reveals how these geographically secluded residents relied on tight-knit neighborly alliances and enduring kinship networks to survive the demanding Pacific Northwest environment. Ultimately, this informal historical portrait demonstrates how cooperative frontier resilience and deeply rooted local friendships successfully transformed a logged-over coastal wilderness into a cohesive, enduring hamlet.
