The town of Sidney was platted in 1886 by Frederick Stevens and contained a pottery works, shingle mill, and sawmill by 1889. The surrounding thick forests and lack of roads meant the area was accessible only by water. The year 1889 also saw the building of the first wharf, allowing numerous passengers and freight steamers of the Mosquito Fleet (so called because its numbers were said to resemble a swarm of mosquitoes) to stop at Sidney, thus facilitating the growth of the town. In December 1890, three months after Sidneys incorporation, the federal government approved Sinclair Inlet as the...

When the citizens of Fife voted to incorporate the town in 1957, they sought to control their destiny and retain their idyllic community.

Bend
ISBN: 9781531647148 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bend, astride the Deschutes River at the eastern foot of the Cascade Range, got its name from a place on the river that runs through it. Pioneer travelers called the place Farewell Bend because it was where they had their last view of the double bend in the river that afforded a good place to camp and to ford the waterway, otherwise flowing through deep canyons. When the U.S. Post Office Department approved a name for a post office established there in 1886, it settled on a shorter version-Bend-because there already was a Farewell Bend on the Snake River in eastern Oregon. Arrival of a...

Until 1890, human activity in the Upper Skykomish Valley was largely seasonal hunting and berry picking by the small downriver Skykomish tribe.

What followed was a frenzy of human activity where boomtowns with names such as Corea, Nippon, Berlin, Alpine, and Wellington came and went, some within a decade. While the longest railroad tunnel in the western hemisphere was...

Norwegian Seattle
ISBN: 9781531638511 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Norwegians who immigrated to Seattle were a sturdy stock. Perhaps it was due to their ancient history as determined Viking seafarers--or their more recent experiences as tenacious fishermen, farmers, loggers, and carpenters. From the first Norwegians to arrive in 1868 through today, Seattles Norwegian American community has maintained a remarkable cohesiveness. They participate in Sons and Daughters of Norway and other clubs; enjoy lutefisk dinners, lively music and dance groups, and the annual May 17 parade; boast elaborately knitted sweaters and historic costumes; and labor over...
