Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Place names are like the historical markers past which we all speed in our motor cars, too preoccupied to stop and enjoy them, " says author Doug Brokenshire. Strait of Juan de Fuca, Puyallup, Anacortes, Walla Walla — these are some of the place names of Washington State. Scratch the surface and you will uncover a wealth of lore, legend, and local flavor.

Book News Annotation:

Alas, there's no entry for Dosewalups or Humptulips; but we do learn the history connected with the naming, and the development, of Squak, Pysht, Quilcene, and other places. A fun guide for both travelers and locals.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
