First in early history +and narration of personal adventure. Fortunately our most important +histories are written by men who have long been residents. Meany, Lyman, +Durham, Snowden and Bagley have themselves been a part of the story and +have learned much at first-hand. Their pages have a flavor of personal +interest which some histories lack. + +The adventures of today become the history of tomorrow. Even the most +commonplace narration of experience in a new country has its value. +Those original documents, whether diary, letters, memoir or +autobiography are the delight of one who has the true historian's +instinct. + +The mythology of the tribes that eighty years ago held possession of +this territory is native romance, a literary asset which has been well +developed. Lyman has collected the myths and legends of the peoples on +the Columbia. Williams tells those that cluster about Mount Rainier. +Meany, Curtis and other historians have enlivened their text by these +romances and Miss Judson has made the field her own. + +A second treasure supply of the state lies in its natural wonders and +beauties. What other state can boast of charms so varied? No other +country has scenery surpassing in grandeur our mountains and forests, or +more beautiful than our inland sea with its emerald shores and islands. + +Williams is not alone in exploiting this rich treasure. A score of +others have found in it the source of mood for their songs or the frame +for a story or romance. + +In philosophic essay and the higher forms of pure belles-lettres the +proportion of writings is not so large as in the old literary centers. +Thought and time are still requisitioned for the founding of +institutions. Few are the leisure-class people who pursue writing as an +art. Yet one who cares to investigate will discover that no other state +while so young has shown a richer output of literature, in content, in +scope or in character. + +Perhaps this first published list will add to the number of those who do +care to investigate. Perhaps too it will result in a wider acquaintance +among those who are following the same undying art. Some day Washington +writers will band together for mutual benefit. + + + + +HISTORY + +=1. Blazing the Way.= (1909.) Emily Inez Denny. Pioneer home-life + pictured by the daughter of the early settler who wrote No. 21. + + +=2. Columbia River, Its History, Its Myths, Its Scenery, Its Commerce.= + (1909.) William Dennison Lyman. Fully descriptive and reciting + personal adventures. Professor Lyman, long-time teacher of history in + Whitman College, has lived his whole life in the country he describes. + The book contains many Indian legends. Eighty illustrations. + + +=3. The Conquerors.= (1907.) Rev. A. Atwood. Dedicated to Jason Lee and + the pioneer missionaries who laid the foundations of American + institutions in old Oregon. Much about Lee whose missionary labors + antedated Marcus Whitman's by two years. To some extent it touches the + so-called Whitman controversy, a discussion due in part to the fact + that the admirers of Whitman claimed too much for a patriot whose + services needed no exaggeration. It has the endorsement of the + Washington State Historical Society. + +=4. Glimpses in Pioneer Life on Puget Sound.= (1903.) Same author. A + history of the Methodist Episcopal Church on the Pacific Coast. + + +=5. David S. Maynard and Catherine T. Maynard.= (1906.) T. W. Prosch. + Biography of two of the immigrants of 1850. Mrs. Maynard is honored in + Seattle as the founder of a free reading room which grew into the + Young Men's Christian Association of the city. + + +=6. Gettysburg.= (1911.) Captain R. K. Beecham. An account of the great + battle. Acknowledged to be most complete and accurate as to facts and it + is written with the fire of a patriot and a poet. The veteran returns to + visit the battle-field where as a youth half a century before he + fought for the flag. Through his eyes and memories the reader sees + events. + + +=7. History of Puget Sound Country.= (1903.) Colonel William Farland + Prosser. The late president of the State Historical Society compiled + this work in two large volumes, a painstaking and valuable reference + work. + + +=8. History of Seattle.= (1916.) Clarence B. Bagley. Three large + volumes. Very comprehensive. The third volume is wholly biographical. + +=9. In the Beginning.= (1905.) Same author. A sketch of events in + Western Washington while it was still a part of old Oregon. Published + separately, also in the 1909 edition of Meeker's "Pioneer + Reminiscences." + + +=10. History of the State of Washington.= (1909.) Edmond S. Meany. The + most accurate and complete history of the state. In some measure it + covers the whole Pacific slope. It is intended for school use but will + interest any one who likes to study or read history. The story is + divided into discovery, exploration, occupation, territorial days and + statehood, each treated clearly and fully. The author, professor of + history in the University of Washington, is a hero-worshipper and + extolls the daring of the adventurer and the patience and courage of + the pioneer. + +=11. Vancouver's Discovery of Puget Sound.= (1907.) Same author. Largely + the journal of the discoverer with extensive notes, many portraits and + biographies of the men whose names were given to geographic features + of the Northwest. A most important piece of historic research. A + fitting supplement to this work is + +=12. A New Vancouver Journal on the Discovery of Puget Sound, by a + Member of the Chatham's Crew.= (1915.) Edited by Professor Meany. + +=13. United States History for Schools.= (1912.) Shows the development + of America as part of world history. This has met with general + approval as a text-book. + + +=14. History of Washington, The Rise and Progress of an American State.= + (1909-1911.) Clinton A. Snowden. Four elegant volumes in half-leather + and rich in illustrations. Two later volumes issued as supplements are + wholly biographical. + + +=15. The Iron Way.= (1907.) Sarah Pratt Carr. The story of the building + of the Central Pacific, the first transcontinental railway. + +=16. The Cost of Empire.= Same author. The record of the Whitman + massacre. It was made the basis of the opera "Narcissa" of which Mrs + Carr's daughter, Mary Carr Moore, wrote the music. + + +=17. Life of Isaac Ingalls Stevens.= (1900.) Hazard Stevens. The two + volumes contain much information about the early Indian wars, councils + and treaties. They show the simplicity of official form during the + life of the first Governor of the Territory. + + +=18. Marcus Whitman, Pathfinder and Patriot.= (1909.) Rev. Myron Eells. + The author is son of Rev. Cushing Eells, founder of Whitman College + and personal friend and co-worker with Whitman. + +=19. Fathers Eells, or the Results of 55 Years of Missionary Labor in + Washington and Oregon=, by the same author, is a biography of the + father. + + +=20. Memoirs of Orange Jacobs.= (1908.) Written by himself after a life + of eighty years, fifty-six of them spent in Oregon and Washington. It + contains a good account of the Seattle fire of 1889. + + +=21.

Pioneer Reminiscences of Puget Sound, The Tragedy of Leschi. + (1905.) Ezra Meeker. An account of the coming of the first whites, + their encounters with the red race, the first treaties with the + Indians, the war that followed, and the cruise of the author on + Puget Sound fifty years ago. One edition contains Bagley's In the + Beginning. + +=23. The Ox Team; or The Old Oregon Trail.= (1906.) The story of a slow + and eventful journey by ox team from the Middle West to this territory + more than sixty years ago. Mr. Meeker and his oxen have been a + conspicuous feature of several western expositions and are a + picturesque relic of the fast-fading pioneer life. Today, Ezra Meeker, + eighty-four years old, is crossing the continent in a + "schoonermobile," a motor car built on the lines of the old-time + prairie schooner. It contains a bed, a stove and a hunting outfit. He + is retracing the journey of the ox cart. + + +=24. Russian Expansion on the Pacific, 1641-1850, An Account of the + Expeditions Made by the Russians Along the Pacific.= Frank Alfred + Golder. In January 1914 the author was sent to St. Petersburg to + catalogue the materials in the Russian archives relating to America. + The work was done for the Carnegie Institute, department of historical + research. Professor Golder is one of the few American historians who + are familiar with the Russian language and his selection was + complimentary to him and to the State College. + + +=25. The Siwash, Their Life, Legends and Tales.= (1895.) J. A. Costello, + an old resident of Puget Sound. The material was gathered chiefly from + the Indians themselves. This book contains a good description of Chief + Seattle. Out of print. + + +=26. Spokane and The Inland Empire.= (1912.) Mr. N. W. Durham. In three + large volumes. + + +=27. Syllabus of Continental European History from Fall of Rome to + 1870.= (1904.) Oliver Huntington Richardson. + + +=28. Tillicum Tales of Thurston County.= (1914.) Mrs. George + Blankenship. Full of historical material of more than local value and + interest. + + +=29. Washington and Its Swedish Population.= (1905.) Ernst Teofil + Skarsteadt. The author has been a resident of the state fourteen + years. As newspaper man and contributor to Eastern journals he has + well covered the life of his fellow-countrymen in this state. He has + written on subjects sociological, historical, agricultural and + biographical. + +=30. Our Heroes of the Pen.= Mr. Skarsteadt considers this his most + valuable work. + + +TRAVEL AND DESCRIPTION + +Books on Alaska would fill a long shelf. Three are particularly +entertaining and rich in description. + +=31. Alaska, an Empire in the Making.= (1913.) John Jasper Underwood. + Written after fourteen years continuous residence in Alaska and the + Yukon Territory. The writer, a newspaper man, sees things from the + impersonal viewpoint of the journalist with a keen appetite for news. + For a time he ran the "farthest north" newspaper, which sold for + "ivory, gold-dust and skins." These words are characteristic of his + wide-sweeping vision: "Here is a land of 25,000 miles of coastline and + with 6,000 miles of navigable waterways." The United States bureau of + education has put this on the list as a standard work on Alaska. + + +=32. Alaska, Its Meaning to the World, Its Resources, Its + Opportunities.= (1914.) Charles R. Tuttle. A good deal of space is + given to the history of the Government railway legislation. It lauds + the energy of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce which conducted a + successful lobby in Washington city during the anxious months while + the Alaska railway bill hung fire in Congress. + + +=33. Alaska, the Great Country.= (1908.) Ella Higginson. This third book + is by a lady whom many love to call "our foremost story-teller and + sweetest singer." It is most personal, crowded with real adventures, + some of them humorous, which the reader shares vividly. Mrs. Higginson + says, "No one writer has ever described Alaska. No one writer can ever + describe it, but each must do his share according to the spell the + country casts upon him." Her description is bright and fascinating. + She is now revising it and bringing it up to date for a new edition. + +=34. American Fur Trade of the Far West.= (1902.) Hiram Martin + Chittenden. + +=35. Yellowstone National Park, Historical and Descriptive.= Same + author. + + No. 34 is a history of the pioneer trading posts and early fur + companies of the Missouri River and Rocky Mountains and of overland + commerce. + + No. 35 is the author's best known work. A fifth edition was published + in 1905. No man has had a better opportunity to know the Yellowstone + than Gen. Chittenden who was in charge of the government work there + and no writer more evenly combines the scientific mind of the + practical engineer with the charm of a poetic and artistic observer. + To read this is next best to seeing the park. + + +=36. The City That Made Itself; A Literary and Pictorial Record of the + Building of Seattle.= (1914.) Welford Beaton. Printed in a choice + leatherbound silk-lined finely illustrated edition of three hundred + copies which readily found their way to the libraries of the + well-to-do. The book tells of the hills that have been laid low, of + the valleys that have been filled, the tide flats that have been + redeemed, of the street car lines and electric development. One + chapter on the "Ladies Library Association" shows how women laid the + foundation of the public library. Another chapter describes the + architecture of the metropolis "from log cabin to sky scraper." + + +=37. Fifteen Thousand Miles by Stage.= (1911.) Carrie Adell Strahorn. A + woman's unique experience during thirty years of pathfinding and + pioneering from the Missouri River to the Pacific and from Alaska to + Mexico. An unusually interesting narration of the days when travel was + beset with different if not more dangers than today. The book is put + out attractively with 350 illustrations. + + +=38. Guardians of the Columbia.= (1912.) John H. Williams. + +=39. The Mountain That Was God.= (1910.) Same author. + +=40. Yosemite and the High Sierras.= (1914.) Same author. They are books + of rare value, occupying a field by themselves. They are full of + fascinating word pictures of mountain scenes. The first is of Mt. + Hood, Mt. Adams and Mt. St. Helens. The city librarian of a + Massachusetts city wrote to Mr. Williams "We have a radiopticon in our + library. I shall mount the illustrations from your book and use the + text for short talks on the mountains." No. 39 pictures Rainier which + is called "Rainier-Tacoma." John Muir wrote "The glorious mountain is + indebted to you for your magnificent book and so is every + mountaineer." This contains the "flora of the mountain slopes" by + J. B. Flett. The third book is dedicated to the Sierra Club with an + introductory poem by Robert Service. + + +=41. The North American Indian.= (1908-1915.) Edward S. Curtis. It is + doubtful if any book which has to do with our state has attracted to + it so much notice as these ten volumes of Indian lore illustrated by + superb photographs taken by the author. He spent years in getting + first hand acquaintance with some of the tribes and in securing the + pictures which have made him famous. Theodore Roosevelt wrote the + preface and J. Pierpont Morgan subscribed $3,000 as an advance + guarantee. + + +=42. Rambles in Colonial Byways.= (1900.) Rufus Rockwell Wilson. + + +=43. Romance of Feudal Chateaux.= (1900.) Elizabeth Williams Champney. + This is one of a delightful series written in part before the author + was a resident of the state. The others are + +=44. Romance of French Abbeys.= (1905.) + +=45. Romance of Italian Villas.= (1906.) + +=46. Romance of Renaissance Chateaux.= (1907.) + +=47. Romance of Bourbon Chateaux.= (1907.) + +=48. Romance of Roman Villas.= (1908.) + +=49. Romance of Imperial Rome.= (1910.) Mrs. Champney also wrote Great + Grandmothers' Girls in New France and Three Vassar Girls. + +=50. Romance of Old Belgium, from Caesar to Kaiser.= (1915.) Elizabeth + Williams Champney and Frere Champney. A choice story full of the + romance of truth. The illustrations are from Rubens' paintings, + photographs and original pen and ink drawings. + + +=51. Seven Weeks in Hawaii.= (1913.) Minnie Leola Crawford. + +=52. Seven Weeks in the Orient.= (1914.) Same author. Vacation letters, + written by a business girl who was enjoying her trip to the full, were + sent to the mother at home. They were passed on to be read by friends + who saw that there was more than a personal interest in them and + insisted on their publication. A Chicago publisher readily accepted + them. Another vacation trip led to the second volume. The style is + sprightly and original and photographs of the author's own taking + illustrate both books. + + +=53. Seven Years on the Pacific Slope.= (1914.) Mrs. Hugh Fraser and + Hugh C. Fraser. The writers lived in Okanogan County in a little + village on the Methow River near its junction with the Columbia. They + tell of ordinary events but give a clear picture of the development of + that region from 1905 to 1912. + +=54. Reminiscences of a Diplomatist's Wife.= (1912.) Either alone or in + collaboration Mrs. Fraser has published ten volumes. + + +SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL + +=55. Birds of Washington.= William Leon Dawson and John Hooper Bowles. + Two elegant volumes describing 372 species. There are three hundred + original halftone illustrations. An analytical key for identification, + by Lynds Jones. + + +=56. Digest of the Decisions of the Supreme Court of Washington.= Arthur + Remington. Two volumes and supplement. + +=57. Remington and Ballinger's Annotated Codes and Statutes of + Washington.= Two volumes and supplement. (1913.) + +=58. Remington's 1915 Codes and Statutes of Washington.= (1916.) Two + volumes. + + +=59. Elementary Flora of the Northwest.= (1914.) Theodore Christian Frye + and George B. Rigg. + + +=60. Encyclopaedia of Practical Horticulture.= (1915.) Granville Lowther + and William Worthington. Three large volumes. + + +=61. English Literature from Widsith to the Death of Chaucer. A Source + Book.= (1916.) Allen Rogers Benham. It pictures the literary world in + which Englishmen lived from early times to the year 1400 and + represents ten years' work by the author. + + +=62. Essentials of Character.= (1910.) Edward O. Sisson. A practical + study of education in moral character. + + +=63. Flora of the State of Washington.= (1906.) Charles V. Piper. + Published by the Smithsonian Institution. Based on study of plants of + the state during a period of twenty years. The most complete and + accurate outline of the flora of the state. + + +=64. Flora of the Northwest Coast.= (1915.) Charles V. Piper and Rolla + Kent Beattie. + + +=65. Forests and Reservoirs in Relation to Stream-flow.= Hiram M. + Chittenden. + +=66. Law, Legislative and Municipal Reference Libraries.= John B. + Kaiser. An elaboration of lectures delivered before library classes in + the University of Illinois. Valuable to the student of library work + and to library investigators. + + +=67. Memorabilia Mathematica.= (1914.) Robert Edouard Moritz. It + contains no mathematics at all but a remarkable collection of facts + and sayings and incidents about mathematics and mathematicians. Of its + 2160 selections a surprising number are interesting and many are even + humorous. + + +=68. Multiple Money Standard.= (1896.) J. Allen Smith. + +=69. Spirit of the American Government.= (1907.) Same author. + + +=70. Outlines of General Chemistry.= (1915.) Horace G. Byers. + + +=71. Parliamentary Procedure.= (1898.) Adele M. Fielde. + +=72. Political Primer for New York City and State.= (1900.) Same author. + The first book, which had been used by many classes in parliamentary + law, was reprinted in Seattle in 1914. Chinese Fairy Stories has also + been reprinted. Miss Fielde has issued more than 200,000 pieces of + literature intended for the education of Washington women. The most of + them have been distributed without cost. Her chosen subjects were + social hygiene, temperance, and direct legislation. In earlier years + she wrote on the life of the ant. + + +=73. Practical treatise on Sub-Aqueous Foundations.= (1914.) Charles + Evan Fowler. + + +=74. Principles of Education.= (1911.) Frederick Elmer Bolton. + + +=75. Refutation of the Darwinian Theory of the Origin of Mankind.= John + C. Stallcup. + + +=76. Regulation.= (1913.) W. G. Barnard. A series of essays on political + economy. An optimistic view of the difficulties of the economic + situation, encouraging the student to believe that "there is a remedy + for every evil." There are chapters on land, wages, interest, profits + and money. + + +FICTION + +=77. Black Bear.= (1910.) William H. Wright. + +=78. Grizzly Bear.= (1909.) Same author. + + +=79. The Bridge of the Gods.= Frederick Balch. The writer grew up in + Klickitat county. When a boy he resolved to write about the Indians of + the Columbia and began collecting material by haunting their camps for + days at a time. A lady who has lived in the state sixty-four years + says "It is the only story that tells accurately of the early life of + those Indians." + + +=80. Chaperoning Adrienne; Through the Yellowstone.= (1907.) Alice + Harriman. This lady has distinguished herself in several ways, first + as poetess and contributor to magazines, then as book publisher. Other + books she wrote are Stories of Montana, Men Two Counties, besides + poems and one juvenile work. Her house has a number of first class + books to its credit. She brought out Lafcadio Hearne's Temptations of + St. Anthony. She took special pride in bringing out books on western + topics, as the narratives of the two Dennys and the story which become + the opera Narcissa. + + +=81. Club Stories.= (1915.) Members of federated clubs. Written in + competition for a prize offered by the State Federation of Women's + Clubs. Of twenty-two stories submitted the twelve receiving highest + rank were published. The scene of each is laid in Washington so they + are full of local color and have a value apart from their literary + merit. First prize was won by Mrs. Robert J. Fisher. + + +=82. Every Child.= (1915.) Gertrude Fulton Tooker. The author had + previously published a few poems but when she was busier than ever + before in her life, caring for two children, she found time to write + this pleasing allegory. It deserves a welcome by all people who + remember the visions and dreams of child-life. + + +=83. Forest Orchid and Other Stories.= (1902.) Ella Higginson. + +=84. From the Land of the Snow Pearls.= (1897.) Same author. + +=85. Mariella of Out-west.= (1902.) Same author. These are the stories + of one who is widely known as our first story writer. Her name became + known when she won, over a thousand competitors, a McClure prize for + five hundred dollars. That story was "The Takin' in of old Miss Lane," + 1894. Since then she has written scores of stories which have appeared + in many different magazines. She has handled some types which are + accepted in the far east as representative of the west and are not + complimentary to the good taste and social polish of this longitude. + But no author of the state has been ranked so high by the reviewers + and critics. All her literary work has been done in this state. She + shows constantly increasing strength. + + +=86. Ginsey Krieder.= Sarah Endicott Ober, nom de plume, Huldah Herrick. + +=87. Little Tommy, or Ma'am Duffy's Lesson.= (1891.) Same author. + +=88. Stacy's Room, or One Year's Building.= (1888.) Same author. + + +=89. Happy Valley.= Ann Shannon Monroe. Tells of homesteading + experiences in the sage-brush country where the author lived the life + of a settler. She first attracted attention by her story, Making a + Business Woman, which appeared in Saturday Evening Post. It is said + that she has a hand in the editorial columns of the Ladies Home + Journal. + + +=90. Heart of the Red Firs.= (1908.) Ada Woodruff Anderson. + +=91. Strain of White.= (1909.) Same author. + +=92. Rim of the Desert.= (1914.) Same author. The last of these three + has scenes laid in Alaska, on the Sound, at Scenic and in the + Wenatchee valley. The development of the desert by irrigation into the + fertile fields and the productive orchard, the tragedy of homesickness + and starvation in Alaska, the fatal avalanche in the Cascades in the + winter of 1909-1910 at Wellington, all are woven into the story. It + includes also an attack on the Roosevelt-Pinchot conservation policy + which reflects the sentiment somewhat widely held on the Pacific + Coast. These features have helped to give the story a wide reading + near home but it is a good seller the country over. Very speedily it + reached a fourth edition and in its first year sales reached fifty + thousand. Mrs. Anderson is the daughter of a Washington pioneer. + Those who know her tell us that her home-making and family-raising are + as successful as her story-writing. Some one said "She is good for + several things and good at them all." + + +=93. The Hired Man.= Florence Roney Weir. + +=94. Busher's Girl.= Same author. + + +=95. In Hampton Roads.= (1899.) Charles Eugene Banks. A novel of the + Civil War. + +=96. Child of the Sun.= (1900.) Same author. + + +=97. Man with a Scar.= Ella Holly and Jessie Hoskins; noms de plume, + Warren and Alice Fones. A little story from the Christian Science + viewpoint. + +=98. Mary of Magdala.= (1909.) Harriette Gunn Roberson. A fascinating + story of Rome and Alexandria and Jerusalem. Told with real dramatic + power. Mrs. Roberson has for two years edited a page in one of the + publications of the Baptist Church under the title, Heart Talks to + Girls on Making the Most of Life. As speaker on the Chautauqua + platform she has made many friends through the Northwest. + + +=99. Preliminaries and Other Stories.= (1912.) Cornelia Atwood Pratt + Comer. + +=100. The Daughter of a Stoic.= (1896.) Same author, before marriage. + +=101. A Daughter of Martyrs.= (1906.) Same author. These are short story + collections. Mrs. Corner has of late done a good deal of magazine work + of a high order, her contributions usually appearing in the Atlantic. + Once when asked for a biography she replied, "I really haven't any. I + doubt if any one ever got along so comfortably with so little + biography since the world began." Of the town where she used to live + she said, "It was a kind of a town which drives one into the inner + world in search of excitement." When a publisher asked for a + photograph she wrote "I have no photographs of myself except some very + old ones in storage and no time to get any new ones." + + +=102. A Rocky Mountain Sketch.= Lou Gertrude Diven. It introduces some + characters drawn beautifully and clearly as by a master of fiction, + yet there is evidence that compels the reader to feel that it is a + true narrative. Many stories and essays by Mrs. Diven are in print. + + +=103. Tillicum Tales.= (1907.) Seattle Writers' Club. A collection of + short stories contributed by members of the club. + + +=104. Unrest, a Story of the Struggle for Bread.= (1915.) W. R. Parr. A + tale of industrial order, the subject treated from a socialistic + standpoint. + + +=105. The Woman Who Went to Alaska.= Mrs. Mary L. Kellogg. She has + written several books on Alaska under the nom de plume May Kellogg + Sullivan. Her home is near Matanuska in Southwestern Alaska where she + has spent seven seasons. + + +JUVENILE + +=106. Billy Tomorrow.= (1909.) Sarah Pratt Carr. + +=107. Billy Tomorrow in Camp.= (1910.) Same author. + +=108. Billy Tomorrow Stands the Test.= Same author. The scene of each of + the series is laid in Washington. + + +=109. Fingers That See.= (1914.) Nancy Buskett. Dedicated to her blind + friends all over the world. It is the story of a blind girl. One + learns to love the child who asks, "Can people who see, see 'round + corners?" and says, "Lovin' isn't just feelin'. Its sometimes doin' + things for people." The author was once musical director in a school + for the blind. At another time she edited the Cynthia Grey department + in four northwestern dailies. + + +=110. His Tribute.= (1909.) Florence Martin Eastland. Illustrates the + value of good cheer. + +=111. Matt of the Waterfront.= (1909.) Same author. A story of + patriotism. Both have a Seattle setting. + + +=112. Montana the Land of Shining Mountains.= (1909.) Katherine Berry + Judson. The early history of Montana, intended for school children. + +=113. Early Days in Old Oregon.= (1916.) This, Miss Judson's latest + book, contains much material from sources never before made + accessible. + + +=114. Mrs. Spring Fragrance.= (1912.) Edith M. Eaton (Sui Sin Far, nom + de plume). Chinese stories told in a charming way. + + +=115. Redcoat and Redskin.= Alice Harriman. A boy's story of the early + days of the Royal Northwest mounted police of Canada. + + +=116. The Yankee Doodle Book.= (1914.) Gertrude D. Best. (Nom de plume + Gertrude Optimus.) For very little people. When the author wanted to + buy some Christmas books for her little friends she did not find what + she liked. She was not pleased with the idea of filling children's + heads with nonsense rhymes, good only to be forgotten, and the crazy + pictures of children's books were not all of them to her liking. Like + the president of a California University, she too made a book for + little people. He did it by writing rhymes still more nonsensical and + impossible. She did it by putting into jingle form some facts of + United States history. The pictures are attractive and true to period. + The rhymes are as catchy as Simple Simon and Jack Horner, but when a + child has sung these over for a few weeks he knows for keeps some + people and some happenings in American history. + + +POETRY + +=117. Blue Grass Ballads.= William Lightfoot Visscher. + +=118. Harp of the South.= Same author. + + +=119. In Childland Straying.= (1895.) Carrie Shaw Rice.

Lyrics of Fir and Foam.= Alice Rollit Coe. + + +=121. Quiet Music.= (1892.) Charles Eugene Banks. + +=122. Where Brooks Go Softly.= (1896.) Same author. Mr. Banks is more + than "the poet." He is a polished writer of essays, and a + discriminating critic of the drama and the stage. + + +=123. The Silesian Horseherd.= (1903.) A translation by Oscar Augustus + Fechter from the German of Max Mueller. + +=124. Songs from Puget Sea.= (1898.) Herbert Bashford. Written while Mr. + Bashford was state librarian. + + +=125.

George Dana Boardman Pepper.= (1914.) A biography. Frederick + Morgan Padelford. The life of a New England college president. It is + one of many works which have earned for Professor Padelford a high + place in the list of authors of pure literature. + +=140. Samuel Osborn, Janitor, A Sketch.= (1913.) Same author. + +=141. Early Sixteenth Century Lyrics.= (1907.) Same author. + +=142. Greek Essays on the Study and Use of Poetry.= Same author. + +=143. Translations from Scaliger's Poetics.= (1905.) Same author. + +=144.

The Atlantic + Monthly published the Pedigree of Pegasus; Cornhill Magazine, Browning + Out West and Did Browning Whistle or Sing?; Suwanee Review published + The Simple Life as Shakespeare Viewed It; and American Journal of + Sociology the Civic Control of Architecture. + + +=145. Hawaiian Idylls of Love and Death.= (1908.) Herbert H. Gowen. + Eleven myths, beautifully told "In the hope that the sketches may show + that touch of nature which makes the whole world kin, which + obliterates the distinction between white and black, between East and + West, between the man of yesterday and the man of today." Dr. Gowen is + a thorough scholar and a literary artist. During twenty years' + residence in the state he has written oriental history, theology, + travel, biography, fiction, (Chinese), and poetry. + +=146. Outline History of China.= (1913.) Covers the country from the + earliest times to the recognition of the Republic. + + +=147. The Life of Adele M. Fielde=, in preparation by Helen Norton + Stevens. As a permanent memorial to Miss Fielde, four thousand copies + will be placed in public and college libraries, women's headquarters, + and educational centers for girls and young women. The remaining one + thousand copies will be sold by subscription. + + +=148. The Mark in Europe and America.= Dr. Enoch A. Bryan. + + +=149.

Sermons, like editorials and addresses and quantities of other + good literature, are not included in these outlines even when + published in book form. Here is an exception. One Christmas some + friends of Dr. West brought out a volume of his sermons,--five of + them--under this title. They are the work of a poetic mind, choice in + literary finish and with a strong spiritual appeal. + + +=156. Story of a Mother-love.= (1913.) Annette Fitch-Brewer. This tells + a remarkable experience. When Mr. and Mrs. Brewer were divorced the + court gave the custody of their one child to the father. The mother + fought, not the divorce, but for a share at least in the care of her + boy. While he was spending a few days with her she fled. For five + years she evaded the father's efforts to trace them while he spent + large sums in detective work posting photographs of the two all over + the country as "fugitives from justice." Finally the arm of the law + reached her, living in a little village under an assumed name. The law + took the boy from his mother and in her loneliness she wrote this + book. It is the experience of a bright observer who wandered thousands + of miles with all her senses on the alert. + + +=157. That Something.= (1914.) William Witherspoon Woodbridge. A + progressive form of mental science put in a new and original style. + The writer believes in himself. What is rarer, he is teaching other + people to believe in themselves. The book has met with great results. + The publisher reports sales to every state in the union but three and + a larger sale than any book ever published west of Chicago. + +=158. Skooting Skyward.= (1912.) An earlier book by the same writer met + with moderate success, perhaps because of the atrocious Josh Billings + spelling which should have been buried with its originator. + + +=159. War or Peace.= (1911.) Hiram Martin Chittenden. A philosophical + treatment of the theme. A splendidly optimistic, logical and sane + chapter is on "the future hope." + + +=160. Ye Towne Gossip.= (1914.) Kenneth C. Beaton. A sparkling book, the + first publication in book form by "K. C. B." He made a wide + acquaintance by fourteen years of newspaper work in the state. Then in + the daily Post-Intelligencer developed this form which gave him fame. + Many readers turned first each morning to his column on the third page + to see what "K. C. B." had to say. That little morning story was + always an appeal to the heart, sometimes as a fountain of tears, + sometimes as a wellspring of joy. A friend writes of him "He is a + temperamental freak in that he is an emotional Britisher and is not + the least bit ashamed of his emotions." + + + + +OTHER WRITERS + + +Throughout the state are men and women whose pens have brought them +distinction though their names have not appeared on the back of a book. +Some are contributors, occasional or regular, to periodical literature. +Some are regular staff-writers. The three we name first are on the P.-I. + +Tom Dillon wrote for Mother's Day an exquisite prayer which was widely +copied and was read into the Congressional Record of 1914. Full of fine +feeling. + +Joseph Blethen has published many short stories and wrote the libretto +for "The Alaskan," an opera produced in New York City. + +Jack Bechdolt has had boys' adventure stories in the Youth's Companion, +articles in Technical World, Popular Mechanics and Leslie's.

Newell, a newspaper woman of many years experience, has +written exquisite bits of prose and verse. The Mountain, a poem first +published in Review of Reviews was later bound constituting the first +book published in Tacoma. She was regular contributor to the Northwest +Magazine and has been in Sunset, Woman's Home Companion and The +Kindergarten. + +Bertha Knatvold Mallett has written for Colliers and Century. + +I. Newton Greene has done feature and special stories for Harpers +Weekly, Success, Life, Technical World, Smart Set, and Pacific Motor +Boat. Human interest stories. Editorials. + +R. P. Wood has appeared in Life and in the London Daily Mail. + +Warren Judson Brier, who has done substantial literary work before +coming to the West, recently had published in the National Magazine The +Incarceration of Ambrose Broadhead, a strong appeal for needed reform. +He has now in preparation an American literature designed for class-room +use. + +Adele M. Ballard, of Town Crier staff, has won an enviable reputation as +art and music critic and is often quoted by Chicago and New York +journals. Writes short stories, verses and special articles which have +appeared in The Lady, (London), Collier's and Reedy's Mirror. Her poems, +Pierrot and The Concert, are of high order. + +Ruth Dunbar, formerly on Seattle Times, has contributions in Woman's +Home Companion and Vogue, and is now on the staff of Every Week, New +York City. + +M. Pelton White has contributed to over fifty publications, Collier's +and various magazines, women's and children's periodicals, farm journals +and religious publications. An order for forty children's stories was +recently finished. Last year's sales numbered fifty-three. + +Goldie Funk Robertson has been most successful in her articles on child +problems and home economics. She is now on the staff of the Mothers' +Magazine, and has made frequent contributions to Woman's Home Companion, +Life, Table Talk, Etude and Modern Priscilla, sometimes using the names +Jane Wakefield and Louise St. Clair. + +Sara Byrne Goodwin, in competition with hundreds of story writers, took +a Ladies Home Journal prize. + +Rosalind Larson won an American Magazine prize. + +Elizabeth Young Wead has contributed articles to Lippincott's, The +Independent, and Country Gentleman. She has just ready for publication a +lineage book of the Van Patten family. + +Anna Brabham Osborne won a prize in the Club Stories contest. In ten +years she has sold sixty-four short stories, seven serials, and nine +feature articles. They appear in the Youths' Companion, Overland +Magazine, New England Magazine, American Magazine, Christian Endeavor +World and the various church publications for young people. + +Harry L. Dillaway, lover of birds and bears, has contributed to Shield's +Magazine, Recreation, and Pacific Sportsman. For a syndicate of papers +he edited "Bird-lore," creating an interest which culminated in a great +bird-house building contest by children. Pictures of this enterprise +were shown in the Ladies Home Journal of July, 1916. + +Harry J. Miller's humorous verses easily find their way into many +newspapers of the state. + + + + +Lines worth knowing: + + +THE EVERGREEN PINE + + The rivers to the ocean flow, + The sunsets burn and flee; + The stars come to the darkling sky, + The violets to the lea; + But I stay in one lone sweet place + And dream of the blue sea. + The harebell blooms and is away, + The salmon spawns and dies; + The oriole nests and is on the wing, + Calling her sweet good-bys.... + But I, when blossom and fruit are gone, + Yearn, steadfast, to the skies. + + I am a prayer and a praise, + A sermon and a song; + My leaf-chords thrill at the wind's will + To nocturnes deep and strong; + Or the sea's far lyric melodies + Echo and prolong. + When April newly decks my form + In silken green attire, + I light my candles, tall and pale, + With holy scarlet fire-- + And straight their incense mounts to God, + Pure as a soul's desire. + + My branches poise upon the air, + Like soft and level wings; + My trembling leaves the wind awakes + To a harp of emerald strings-- + Or thro' the violet silences + A golden vesper sings. + I am a symbol and a sign.... + Thro' blue or rose or gray; + Thro' rain and dark; thro' storms of night; + Thro' opaline lights of day-- + Slowly and patiently up to God + I make my beautiful way. + + --Higginson. + + +ENSHRINED + + "My son" .... + Her tone was soft with wistfulness-- + "Would now be twenty-one ... + If he had lived." + + A silence fell ... + And thought sped swiftly back + Through years of fulness and content-- + Save for one gray thread of loneliness. + For she had never parted company + With him, + Who left her arms bereft + Of her man-child. + + "And so," + Again she spoke, + "I watch the youths + Who grow apace with him in years, + And all their winning traits + I seize upon, invest my son with them, + And love all youth the more + Because I too + Hold in my heart + A vivid memory." + + Again the silence fell ... + I turned away-- + For I had glimpsed the sanctuary + Of a mother's soul, + In which a spirit was enshrined + For all Eternity. + + --Adele M. Ballard + + + Long hours we toiled up through the solemn wood, + Beneath moss-banners stretched from tree to tree; + At last upon a barren hill we stood, + And, lo, above loomed Majesty. + + --Herbert Bashford + + +NIGHT ON THE MOUNTAIN + + Thou hear'st the star songs clear, + When all is silent here, + And I, asleep. + Spheres, ringing music rare + Through upper realms of air, + 'Round thy crowned head, may dare + Their vigils keep. + + --Bernice E. Newell + + + "Great Mountain, who once to a pagan race meant God, + Make us to realize our shame, + That, failing to sing praises to thy wondrous form, + We stoop to quarrel o'er a name." + + --Anon. + + + "The mountain-lover does not always gaze at Rainier and Olympus. + He has learned that the foot-hills have a charm and an interest of + their own. And they too point upward." + + --Club Stories + + +UP, MY HEART + + The dark, dark night is gone, + The lark is on the wing, + From black and barren fields he soars, + Eternal hope to sing. + + And shall I be less brave, + Than you sweet lyric thing? + From deeps of failure and despair + Up, up, my heart, and sing. + The dark, dark year is gone; + The red blood of the spring + Will quicken nature's pulses soon, + So up, my heart, and sing. + + --Ella Higginson + + +THAT SOMETHING + +A man's success depends alone on That Something. That Something of his +soul. Abraham Lincoln found it and it warmed the cold floor on which he +lay and studied. It added light to the flickering glow of the wood fire, +that he might see to read. + +It spurred him on and on and on. + +That Something is an awful force. + +It made of a puny Corsican the Ruler of the World. + +It made of a thin-chested bookkeeper the money king of his age. + +It made of Edison the great man of a great country. + +It made Carnegie. It made Woodrow Wilson. It made Roosevelt. + +It can make you. + +And it is now in your soul. Awake it now. "That Something." + +"No, it can't be done, it can't be done," murmured the professor. "I +have drunk deeply of the cup of life, and I am now drinking of the +dregs. The cup is filled but once, and when it's gone there's nothing +left but old age and poverty." + +"You fool," cried Randolph, leaning forward and shaking the little man +roughly. "You almost had That Something within your power, and now you +sing it back to sleep with your silly song of pessimism. It's the false +philosophy, that such as you sing, which has kept men in the ruts of +their own digging for centuries past. + +Wake man, wake That Something within your soul." + + --W. W. Woodbridge + + +THE GAME + + "I win," cried Death with a triumphant grin. + "My body, yes, but not the soul within." + + --Harriman + + +MY MOTHER--A PRAYER + +For the body you gave me, the bone and the sinew, the heart and the +brain that are yours, my mother, I thank you. I thank you for the light +in my eyes, the blood in my veins, for my speech, for my life, for my +being. All that I am is from you who bore me. + +For your smile in the morning and your kiss at night, my mother, I thank +you. I thank you for the tears you shed over me, the songs that you sung +to me, the prayers you said for me, for your vigils and ministerings. +All that I am is by you who reared me. + +For the faith you had in me, the hope you had for me, for your trust and +your pride, my mother, I thank you. I thank you for your praise and your +chiding, for the justice you bred into me and the honor you made mine. +All that I am you taught me. + +For the times that I hurt you, the times I had no smile for you, the +caresses that I did not give you, my mother forgive me. For your lessons +I did not learn, for your wishes I did not heed, for the counsels I did +not obey, my mother, forgive me. Forgive me my pride in my youth and my +glory in my strength that forgot the holiness of your years and the +veneration of your weakness,--for my neglect, for my selfishness, for +all the great debts of your love that I have not paid, mother, sweet +mother, forgive me. + +And may the peace and the joy that passeth all understanding be yours, +my mother, forever and ever. Amen. + + --Tom Dillon + + +It is not too much to believe that a permanent organization can be +formed which will take over to itself the whole business of the +regulation of international affairs. + + --Chittenden + + + "Why should we ridicule, think very droll, + Indian legends and carved totem pole, + When we, in blindness are equally odd + In misconception of life and of God?" + + --Harriman + + +A NEW LEAF + + He came to my desk with a quivering lip,-- + The lesson was done, + "Dear Teacher, I want a new leaf," he said, + "I have spoiled this one." + I took the old leaf, stained and blotted, + And gave him a new one, all unspotted, + And into his sad eyes' smiled; + "Do better now, my child." + + I went to the throne with a quivering soul,-- + The old year was done, + "Dear Father, hast thou a new leaf for me? + I have spoiled this one." + He took the old leaf, stained and blotted, + And gave me a new one all unspotted, + And into my sad heart smiled, + "Do better, now, my child." + + --Carrie Shaw Rice + + +THE TOILER'S FEAR + + There is one thing I fear. + Not death, nor sharp disease, + Nor loss of friends I hold most dear, + Nor pain nor want,--not these. + But the life of which men say, + "The world has given him bread, + And what gives he to the world as pay + For the loaf on which he fed?" + + --Anna Louise Strong + + +The only territory the United States has ever acquired by discovery, +exploration and settlement; the only territory that cost us nothing in +cash by way of purchase, or by the use of military, or naval force. + + --Snowden + + +DON'T WORRY + + Don't hurry or worry; + Be still and keep cool, + For hurry and worry + But make you Time's fool. + + Don't b'lieve what they tell you + 'Bout Time's flowing stream, + 'Tis Eternity now, dear, + All else is a dream. + + Don't seek for a heaven + In far distant skies. + It lies all around you + Just open your eyes. + + Henry Victor Morgan. + + + Toot, toot, toot, + Everything a-quiver + Toot, toot, toot, + Look up the North River. + Toot, toot, toot, + Something new afloat. + Toot, toot, toot, + The first steamboat. + + Yankee Doodle Book. + + +"If we believe that people are mostly dishonest, ungenerous, selfish, +gossiping, troublesome, we would better be looking at ourselves and +trying to find out what is the matter with us." + + --Lou G. Diven + + +"I venture to say that if there is one lesson written more plainly than +any other across the pages of human history it is this, that God cannot +be forgotten with impunity,--but for all that the popular tendency is to +leave God out of account. I plead for the bringing of God back into +touch with human life." + + --Keator + + +OPTIGRAMS + + +The good we can think of is always possible. + +To dole out a few turkeys at Christmas is good; but to have a social +order where every man can buy his own turkey is vastly better. + +Real sympathy is motional as well as emotional; energetic, as well as +pathetic, taking no pleasure in "tears, idle tears." + +Some people seem to enjoy giving publicity to their disappointments. + +Women understand men better than men understand women. + +The only personalities who hold permanently the devotion and admiration +of humanity are the idealists. + +You can preach the gospel through a handshake, a glance, a laugh, a +lifting word. + +What we don't know, never frightens us; it is what we half-know which is +the fertile seed-plot of fear. + +Golf is an artificial substitute for man's native need for work in the +open air. + +What we really care for in people is not their social standing nor the +fashionableness of their haberdashery, but their kindness, reliability +and integrity. + +God has no stepchildren. + +Naked, brutal force has never settled anything yet. Stoning Stephen to +death only gave him a more distinguished immortality. + +We do not want "peace at any price."

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
