Download or read book Ancient Places written by Jack Nisbet and published by Sasquatch Books. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master historian Nisbet has communed with Indians, astronauts, miners, and scientists to reveal a wonderfully personal, engaging, and authoritative picture of the cultural and natural history of the Inland Northwest. --John Marzluff, author of Welcome to Subirdia and Gifts of the Crow Ancient Places is a collection of nonfiction stories about the interplay between people and the landscape where they happen to live. Drawing on a range of fresh personal research, both oral and written, author Jack Nisbet (Sources of the River, The Collector) engages some of the iconic images in Northwest history: from fossil riches to ice age floods; from the Willamette Meteorite to the 1872 Earthquake; from up-and-down mining cycles to steady rounds of tribal food gathering. Although the scale of time and space in some of the pieces is immense, individual characters still manage to leave their marks; even though the force of modern civilization sometimes seems overwhelming, small places and their key components somehow persevere. These are the genesis stories of a region. In Ancient Places, Jack Nisbet uncovers touchstones across the Pacific Northwest that reveal the symbiotic relationship of people and place in this corner of the world. xx

Download or read book Missionary History of the Pacific Northwest written by Harvey K. Hines and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Missionary History of the Pacific Northwest: Containing the Wonderful Story of Jason Lee; With Sketches of Many of His Co-Laborers, All Illustrating Life on the Plains and in the Mountains in Pioneer Days In presenting this "Missionary History of the Pacific Northwest" to the reading public the writer has but a few introductory observations to make. This work is not the result of a hasty impulse, nor was it called forth by any desire to serve personal, sectional, or sectarian aims. For forty-six years the author has been personally connected with the work of the Church in the Pacific Northwest, and more or less intimately associated with nearly every prominent actor in the history which he has endeavored faithfully to record. Through that association, in his early life, the purpose which he is now endeavoring to fulfill in this volume was formed in his mind, and he has studied characters and events in the light of that purpose from the beginning. His own work as a minister has led him along every watercourse, over every trail, through every mountain fastness, into every desert solitude over which the great pioneers whose going antedated his own coming by but a few years ever passed or entered.

Download or read book The Enemy Never Came written by Scott McArthur and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for Caxton Press Although the Pacific Northwest was the area furthest removed from the actual battles of the Civil War, it was nonetheless profoundly affected by the war. The Enemy Never Came examines the everyday lives of the volunteer soldiers who battled Native American renegades of the region and of the settlers who were deeply affected by the war yet unable to do much about it. Pacific Northwest pioneers soon chose sides, most allying with the North, others supporting the southern states’ right to withdraw from the union. Still others attempted to ignore the entire issue of the War between the States, leaving “that problem” to the folks back east. Because communication with the rest of the nation was slow and tenuous during the early years of the war, the early settlers of what are now Oregon, Washington, and Idaho concentrated on controlling the restive Native Americans whose land and society had been overwhelmed by white settlers. These same settlers, however, nonetheless vigorously argued politics and worried about invaders from the south, from the British colonies to the north, and from the sea—none of whom ever materialized.
Download or read book The Final Forest written by William Dietrich and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2011 Outstanding Title, University Press Books for Public and Secondary School Libraries Winner of the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award Before Forks, a small town on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, became famous as the location for Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight book series, it was the self-proclaimed “Logging Capital of the World” and ground zero in a regional conflict over the fate of old-growth forests. Since Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist William Dietrich first published The Final Forest in 1992, logging in Forks has given way to tourism, but even with its new fame, Forks is still a home to loggers and others who make their living from the surrounding forests. The new edition recounts how forest policy and practices have changed since the early 1990s and also tells us what has happened in Forks and where the actors who were so important to the timber wars are now.
