Every day; in some part of the world; an Arthur Miller play is performed.In the nearly 60 years since its first production; the Pulitzer Prizewinning Death of a Salesman has been become a classic; a staple of school anthologies of American literature and of acting companies repertoires. It has received worldwide productions; whether as a study of parent-child relationships; as in its landmark 1976 production directed by Miller in Beijing; or as a critique of Western capitalism and has been filmed once for television and twice for movies.

This Book Has Interesting Historical Information About Port Townsend.By WilliamWhen Loompanics Unlimited was in business; its headquarters was in Port Townsend. Here is some of the interesting information that this book mentions: Port Townsend was the first permanent settlement on the Olympic Peninsula. It was founded on April 24; 1851 by Alfred Plummer. Port Townsend was designated as a US Customs Post in 1854. Port Townsend went bust after the anticipated railroad failed to arrive. In the mid-1890rsquo;s; the townrsquo;s population fell from 7;000 to 2;000. The 1897 Discovery of Gold in the Klondike brought some temporary wealth back to Port Townsend. There is a picture of the Fire Bell Tower which is part of the cityrsquo;s skyline. There is a picture of the Port Townsend High School Team that won the state championship in 1911-1912. There are pictures in the book of Fort Worden and the Point Wilson Lighthouse. The removal of the Customs House to Seattle in 1913 was a terrible blow to Port Townsendrsquo;s economy. When the army pulled out of Fort Worden in 1953; approximately half of the townrsquo;s jobs went with it. Port Townsend was left a remote mill town. There is an aerial view picture of Port Townsend in this book that was taken from approximately 3000 feet high in 1919. On Feb. 21; 1979; ferry service returned to Port Townsend after a 40 year absence. Many buildings and houses remained uninhabited until the 1970rsquo;s when discovered by those seeking a creative atmosphere with cheap real estate and splendid scenery.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

A Great Look at a Lively HistoryBy MMusePort Townsend has a very interesting history. Its early days were happening at the same time photography was becoming very popular and several talented photographers did a great job documenting life in the booming Victorian-era frontier seaport. The photos are great and theres a very interesting narrative with good stories and descriptions.
