Description

"In compiling this oral history of Washington State, Ron Strickland discovered a region as alive with folklore as it is with natural beauty. His book gathers a remarkable group of storytellers, from old-timers to new arrivals, who together capture the independent and idiosyncratic spirit of true Northwesterners."--BOOK JACKET.
