We had a beach place on Ketner Point; so the pictures of the old "City of Steilacoom" were really nice. I do miss those days; long gone now. The book is well written; nicely published. Well done.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Magical Fox IslandBy Jenny L.Great book on the history of Fox Island Washington.
