Washington -- an account of legendary inhabitants of coastal residents of Southwest Washingtons Long Beach PeninsuBy MBethSydney Stevens always gets it right about her hometown Oysterville. WA. Be sure to look for her other books about life in this small coastal village on the north Long Beach Peninsula in Washington state. at the mouth of the Columbia River--where Lewis Clark ended up. My favorite is Dear Medora about her aunt. a young woman in the early part of last century. Her knowledge of past and present inhabitants of the village makes the legends come to life.

Excellent Local HistoryBy SandyThis book is a fascinating look at an area of the country that many people dont know. The pictures are wonderful. This series of books is such a good way of learning about an area with interesting pictures and facts to go with them. Oysterville is a place I have known and loved for over 50 years. For a history of the southwest corner of Washington State this book really gives the flavor of the people.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Karin M.Love Sydneys work.
