NEW T ITLES Slick as a Mitten
Ezra Meeker’s Klondike Enterprise Dennis M. Larsen Ezra Meeker braved the Oregon Trail in 1852, and eventually became a hop farmer and broker in the Puget Sound country. He platted the town of Puyallup, Washington and served as its first mayor. By the 1880s he had built a fortune and a mansion. Then suddenly, a devastating scourge of aphids followed by a severe national depression, swept his assets away, “slick as a mitten.” He rescued his friends and neighbors when the local bank failed, however, by tapping his own capital to return funds to account holders. The Alaskan gold rush held renewed prospects for the financially ruined. Despite his advanced age, Meeker ventured to the treacherous Klondike four times, transporting and selling more than 60 tons of groceries to Yukon gold miners. The arduous hauling of eggs, potatoes, dried goods, and even live chickens, required steamers, dog teams, pack animals, human backs, flatboats, and scows. His wife, Eliza Jane, who remained closer to home, managed the food-drying and canning operation, manufacturing granulated eggs and dehydrated soup vegetables. Ezra delighted in his infant grandson, Wilfred, who accompanied him to Dawson in 1900. Four years of letters, most from Ezra to his beloved Eliza Jane, relate the details of his risky schemes and experiences, from business pursuits, to keeping warm, to the daily antics of his grandchild.

Shaper of Seattle
Reginald Heber Thomson’s Pacific Northwest William H. Wilson “His achievements are woven into Seattle and the surrounding region so durably that they are taken for granted even as Puget Sound, Lake Washington, and Mount Rainier.” —Roy O. Hadley
Young, ambitious, and college-educated, Reginald Heber Thomson was eager to make a big impression. Seattle was brimming with opportunity, but when his steamer docked at Yesler’s Wharf in 1881, the view was dismal. Nondescript wood-framed buildings and plank sidewalks sprawled along muddy streets. Thomson may have smelled the Puget Sound metropolis before he saw it. Utilities were crude to nonexistent. Pipes dumped the untreated contents of chamber pots and tin bathtubs straight into Elliott Bay, and a multitude of rats scurried around the piers. Recalling that earlier time, he wrote, “Looking at local surrounds, I felt that Seattle was in a pit, that to get anywhere we would be compelled to climb out of it if we could.” Soon, Thomson was surveying for his cousin’s firm. He quickly rose to partner and mingled with Seattle’s elite. In 1884 he was appointed city surveyor, and in 1892, city engineer. By then the booming population was in dire need of a workable sewage system and a clean, reliable water supply. Thomson delivered both and more, aided by his keen ability to select capable subordinates. He installed drain pipes and sewers where others had failed, and his gravity-powered Cedar River project replaced water pumped from turbid Lake Washington. To improve the ability of horses and carts to transport goods, he leveled several steep hills and filled the worst hollows. His municipal power plant lit homes, businesses, and streets. In addition to sewers, water, and regraded streets, the progressive, legendary engineer also straightened and dredged waterways, reclaimed tideflats, and installed countless miles of tunnels, bridges, and pavement. Later, he became a civic leader and was involved with the Port of Seattle and the Chittenden locks. For decades, Thomson labored diligently on behalf of urban The timber crib dam on the north bank of Cedar River in 1915. 4

Both a workaholic and a devoted family man, he possessed extraordinary intelligence, energy, integrity, and perseverance. He also was driven by his religious and political convictions. In Shaper of Seattle, author William H. Wilson has produced a comprehensive, critical examination, exploring key events and forces that shaped Reginald Heber Thomson throughout his youth, career, personal life, and waning years.

RECENT RELEASES Finding Chief Kamiakin
The Life and Legacy of a Northwest Patriot Richard D. Scheuerman and Michael O. Finley Photography by John Clement The arrival of unprecedented numbers of Oregon Trail immigrants stirred a cataclysmic upheaval that placed native peoples’ retention of lands and their ancient customs in jeopardy. On May 29, 1855, the Walla Walla Treaty Council commenced and two weeks later, Chief Kamiakin signed the Yakima Treaty of 1855 with great reluctance. He also resolved to resist threats to his people’s freedoms and transgressions on their lifeways. Finding Chief Kamiakin is his saga.

Greenscapes
Olmsted’s Pacific Northwest
Joan Hockaday Landscape architect John Charles Olmsted was mentored by Frederick Law Olmsted, designer of New York’s Central Park. In the early 1900s, the meticulous, visionary protégé brought his famous stepfather’s pastoral aesthetic to premier parks throughout the Pacific Northwest—green retreats that still refresh urban souls in Portland, Seattle, and Spokane. Photographs • maps • notes • bibliography • index 9" x 10½" • 224 pages Paperback • ISBN 978-0-87422-298-2 • $29.95 “One hundred years later, when we enter an Olmsted-designed park, despite more traffic and development than even those visionaries could probably imagine, we feel submerged in solitude, shelter and a dose of peace sufficient to refresh even the 21st-century human spirit.” —Pacific Northwest Magazine

Making the Grade
Plucky Schoolmarms of Kittitas Country Barb Owen Thirteen former Kittitas country schoolmarms reflect fondly on their days of teaching in remote locales between 1914 and 1943. Usually, their classes were small with multiple grade levels in a single room, and the new teachers also served as janitors, fire builders, cooks, and water haulers. For most, it was their first job and for some, an introduction to country living as well. The young women were away from friends and family. They often lacked supplies. Facing these ordeals with creativity, dedication, and pluck, they enhanced the lives of many children, and earned the adoration of their rural populations.

NEW T ITLES Slick as a Mitten
Ezra Meeker’s Klondike Enterprise Dennis M. Larsen Ezra Meeker braved the Oregon Trail in 1852, and eventually became a hop farmer and broker in the Puget Sound country. He platted the town of Puyallup, Washington and served as its first mayor. By the 1880s he had built a fortune and a mansion. Then suddenly, a devastating scourge of aphids followed by a severe national depression, swept his assets away, “slick as a mitten.” He rescued his friends and neighbors when the local bank failed, however, by tapping his own capital to return funds to account holders. The Alaskan gold rush held renewed prospects for the financially ruined. Despite his advanced age, Meeker ventured to the treacherous Klondike four times, transporting and selling more than 60 tons of groceries to Yukon gold miners. The arduous hauling of eggs, potatoes, dried goods, and even live chickens, required steamers, dog teams, pack animals, human backs, flatboats, and scows. His wife, Eliza Jane, who remained closer to home, managed the food-drying and canning operation, manufacturing granulated eggs and dehydrated soup vegetables. Ezra delighted in his infant grandson, Wilfred, who accompanied him to Dawson in 1900. Four years of letters, most from Ezra to his beloved Eliza Jane, relate the details of his risky schemes and experiences, from business pursuits, to keeping warm, to the daily antics of his grandchild.

Shaper of Seattle
Reginald Heber Thomson’s Pacific Northwest William H. Wilson “His achievements are woven into Seattle and the surrounding region so durably that they are taken for granted even as Puget Sound, Lake Washington, and Mount Rainier.” —Roy O. Hadley
Young, ambitious, and college-educated, Reginald Heber Thomson was eager to make a big impression. Seattle was brimming with opportunity, but when his steamer docked at Yesler’s Wharf in 1881, the view was dismal. Nondescript wood-framed buildings and plank sidewalks sprawled along muddy streets. Thomson may have smelled the Puget Sound metropolis before he saw it. Utilities were crude to nonexistent. Pipes dumped the untreated contents of chamber pots and tin bathtubs straight into Elliott Bay, and a multitude of rats scurried around the piers. Recalling that earlier time, he wrote, “Looking at local surrounds, I felt that Seattle was in a pit, that to get anywhere we would be compelled to climb out of it if we could.” Soon, Thomson was surveying for his cousin’s firm. He quickly rose to partner and mingled with Seattle’s elite. In 1884 he was appointed city surveyor, and in 1892, city engineer. By then the booming population was in dire need of a workable sewage system and a clean, reliable water supply. Thomson delivered both and more, aided by his keen ability to select capable subordinates. He installed drain pipes and sewers where others had failed, and his gravity-powered Cedar River project replaced water pumped from turbid Lake Washington. To improve the ability of horses and carts to transport goods, he leveled several steep hills and filled the worst hollows. His municipal power plant lit homes, businesses, and streets. In addition to sewers, water, and regraded streets, the progressive, legendary engineer also straightened and dredged waterways, reclaimed tideflats, and installed countless miles of tunnels, bridges, and pavement. Later, he became a civic leader and was involved with the Port of Seattle and the Chittenden locks. For decades, Thomson labored diligently on behalf of urban The timber crib dam on the north bank of Cedar River in 1915. 4

Both a workaholic and a devoted family man, he possessed extraordinary intelligence, energy, integrity, and perseverance. He also was driven by his religious and political convictions. In Shaper of Seattle, author William H. Wilson has produced a comprehensive, critical examination, exploring key events and forces that shaped Reginald Heber Thomson throughout his youth, career, personal life, and waning years.

Finley Photography by John Clement The arrival of unprecedented numbers of Oregon Trail immigrants stirred a cataclysmic upheaval that placed native peoples’ retention of lands and their ancient customs in jeopardy. On May 29, 1855, the Walla Walla Treaty Council commenced and two weeks later, Chief Kamiakin signed the Yakima Treaty of 1855 with great reluctance. He also resolved to resist threats to his people’s freedoms and transgressions on their lifeways. Finding Chief Kamiakin is his saga.

Greenscapes
Olmsted’s Pacific Northwest
Joan Hockaday Landscape architect John Charles Olmsted was mentored by Frederick Law Olmsted, designer of New York’s Central Park. In the early 1900s, the meticulous, visionary protégé brought his famous stepfather’s pastoral aesthetic to premier parks throughout the Pacific Northwest—green retreats that still refresh urban souls in Portland, Seattle, and Spokane. Photographs • maps • notes • bibliography • index 9" x 10½" • 224 pages Paperback • ISBN 978-0-87422-298-2 • $29.95 “One hundred years later, when we enter an Olmsted-designed park, despite more traffic and development than even those visionaries could probably imagine, we feel submerged in solitude, shelter and a dose of peace sufficient to refresh even the 21st-century human spirit.” —Pacific Northwest Magazine

Making the Grade
Plucky Schoolmarms of Kittitas Country Barb Owen Thirteen former Kittitas country schoolmarms reflect fondly on their days of teaching in remote locales between 1914 and 1943. Usually, their classes were small with multiple grade levels in a single room, and the new teachers also served as janitors, fire builders, cooks, and water haulers. For most, it was their first job and for some, an introduction to country living as well. The young women were away from friends and family. They often lacked supplies. Facing these ordeals with creativity, dedication, and pluck, they enhanced the lives of many children, and earned the adoration of their rural populations.
