Common, everyday buildings were not photographed or if they were, nobody bothered to give the photos to the Historical Society for future reference. Yes, there are many photos, some wonderful memories of days gone by, but there are many more gaps in...

ISBN: 9781502382597 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Think of the time when settlers came to the area north of Seattle. This forested area along scenic Puget Sound attracted those willing to work the land, including my ancestors in the early 1900s on both sides of my family. I grew up in Richmond Beach on the property settled by my great-grandfather Morton M. Anderson. Read these stories and think of the aroma of strawberries, freshly baked bread, linen on the clothesline, water from a pump, hay bales, leather saddles on horses, fresh salt air, cleanly cut lumber, a whiff of chickens, and a hint of Flamo. There are many pictures from our family...

Lifting Oregon Out of the Mud: Building the Oregon Coast Highway
ISBN: 9781505612127 / Angielski / Miękka / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Oswald West, Oregon's rascally one-term governor, wrote historic legislation in 1913 that set aside Oregon's beaches as Oregon's first coast highway. By 1919, building began in earnest and moved the highway east of the beaches and punched it through four hundred miles of the most rugged and remote terrain on the continent. This breathtaking story concludes in 1936 with an array of five stunning bridges designed by Oregon's premier architect, Conde B. McCullough and resulted in creating one of the most spectacular coastal highways in the world.

Every winter settlers of the U.S. and Canadian Mountain West could expect to lose dozens of lives to deadly avalanches. This constant threat to trappers, miners, railway workers-and their families-forced individuals and communities to develop knowledge, share strategies, and band together as they tried to survive the extreme conditions of "avalanche country." The result of this convergence, author Diana Di Stefano argues, was a complex network of formal and informal cooperation that used disaster preparedness to engage legal action and instill a sense of regional identity among the many...
