The Indian Shirt Story
If there's more than one side to a story, how do we know what is true? When she's not slinging beer in her husband's pub, Bess Reynolds runs the Starkett House Museum, a pioneer-era landmark in a free-thinking, left-leaning Northwest town. In addition to the old homestead's antiques and heirlooms, Bess must deal with another relic-ninety-year old Lucille Starkett, who refuses to stop telling visitors an offensive family tale. Unexpectedly, Nashville comes to town. Country music superstar-and avid angler-Duane Hasker rents the museum for a video shoot, and he doesn't arrive alone. Hundreds of diehard country fans stake their claim on the sidewalk outside, squabbling with protesters fired up over Duane's "cruelty to fish." Bess tries to keep things professional but the King of Country Music is enough to turn any woman's head-even that of Miss Lucille, whom Duane Hasker likes instantly. Neither Bess nor the town of Port Heron will ever be the same.
Tumwater
The phrase "It's the water," adopted by Tumwater's own Olympia Brewing Company, could have been coined for the town itself. In 1845, the first American settlers on Puget Sound founded a village at the falls of the Deschutes River, drawn by the river's potential for powering mills and factories. They christened the place New Market, though the town soon changed its name to Tumwater, a phrase meaning "noisy water" in the language used between settlers and Indians. Though the age of water power lasted only a few more decades, Tumwater later struck gold with a different sort of water: pure artesian springs that were perfect for brewing beer. The Olympia Brewing Company, built by German brewmaster Leopold Schmidt, produced its first beer in 1896. For more than a century, Schmidt's brewery dominated the little town at the falls. In spite of tremendous changes during the past few decades, modern Tumwater still takes pride in its Northwest pioneer heritage and its beer-brewing past.
Crown Jewel Wilderness
Remote, rugged, and spectacularly majestic, with stunning alpine meadows and jagged peaks that soar beyond ten thousand feet, North Cascades National Park is one of the Pacific Northwest’s crown jewels. Now, in the first full-length account, Lauren Danner chronicles its creation--just in time for the park’s fiftieth anniversary in 2018. The North Cascades range benefited from geographic isolation that shielded its mountains from extensive resource extraction and development. Efforts to establish a park began as early as 1892, but gained traction after World War II as economic affluence sparked national interest in wilderness preservation and growing concerns about the impact of harvestin...
