Summary: Wide-ranging History of Pacific Northwest
Review: Paul Hirt has pulled together some of the best western historians to focus on the Pacific Northwest; from Spanish attempts to settle the coast, to Hanford, irrigation, and post-war race relations. Very readable, comprehensive, and well-done. Anyone looking to understand the Pacific Northwest will enjoy this book.
