Mastodons roamed the plains of Sequim and Dungeness in the years following the recession of the Cordilleran ice sheets. Millennia later; the villages of S�Klallam were home to those who saw settlers disembarking on the periphery of coastal wilderness. Ancient stands of spruce; cedar; and fir fell in the 1800s; clearing the land for agriculture. By the 1900s; the region exported wheat; potatoes; hay; and oats and became prime dairy land. This compilation of historic photographs illustrates the area�s history from the 1800s to 1930 and is complimented by information from archival documents sequestered in historical collections throughout the Puget Sound and at the Museum and Arts Archive in Sequim.

I was able to see many places that I remember my dad referring to.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Sentimental JourneyBy Don CamptonThis is a great little book that documents some of the classic buildings and architecture of San Jose prior to WWII. Unfortunately; most of those buildings were destroyed by fire; the April 1906 earthquake; or were demolished in the name of "progress" and urban development. All current and former residents of San Jose would enjoy this book; almost like watching a sentimental; tear jerker movie. It is so sad to see what we have lost from yesteryear. But through Bob Johnsons fine little book; we can all cherish those great buildings and places of the past via his postcard history.
