Excerpt from History of Washington: The Rise and Progress of an American State
It is to be regretted that the State government has not already made such provision as most other States have made for collecting, arranging and preserving the materials for its history. The Work can be done thoroughly and well at very moderate cost, once it is begun in a proper way. The greatest need will be for a competent secretary, whose heart will be in the work, who has already displayed some genius for it, and who has a wide acquaintance among the earlier settlers now living.

Excerpt from History of Washington: The Rise and Progress of an American State
The materials from which alone a history of Washington can be written have nowhere been assembled in one collection, with any degree of completeness. The State Historical Society has done something, but the material it has gathered is not yet arranged so as to be readily available. The State University also has a considerable collection which it is steadily and very methodically increasing. The State Library has something. The shelves of the Oregon Historical Society also hold much that is as valuable to the historian of Washington as of Oregon, and is equally at his disposal.
It is to be regretted that the State government has not already made such provision as most other States have made for collecting, arranging and preserving the materials for its history. The work can be done thoroughly and well at very moderate cost, once it is begun in a proper way. The greatest need will be for a competent secretary, whose heart will be in the work, who has already displayed some genius tor it, and who has a wide acquaintance among the earlier settlers now living.
There are in the State several private collections of historical material of value, and one of the best, if not certainly the best of these, was early placed at my disposal. Mr. Clarence B. Bagley of Seattle has been a most enterprising, patient and intelligent collector for many years past, and now has, in addition to the standard authorities, complete files of all the earlier, and most of the later, newspapers published in the territory and state, together with a mass of documents and manuscripts, that possibly at the present time could not be duplicated.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the birth of a new state - Washington. It was originally part of a vast territory explored by Lewis and Clark and purchased by the US at the Louisiana Purchase. After the war of 1812, the US and Britain agreed to jointly occupy the region for ten years. The book discusses the impact of this agreement on the development of the region and the eventual formation of Washington as a separate entity. The author provides insights into the history, politics, and culture of the region, exploring themes of westward expansion, territorial disputes, and the struggle for statehood. The book highlights the significance of the region's natural resources, its role in the fur trade, and the challenges faced by early settlers. Ultimately, this book offers a comprehensive examination of the factors that shaped the history of Washington and its place in the broader narrative of American expansion.
