Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Washington Historical Quarterly, Vol. 1: October, 1906 W'ashington is still a coast and river state. Excepting the broad plains about the head of the Cowlitz, Chehalis and Puyal lup rivers, and about the Palouse and Spokane. The pioneer has as yet but scattered settlements in the interior. On the Sound and Grays Harbor, on the Columbia and its numberless branches population still resides. It must be noted. How ever, that the railway, penetrating the territory inaccessible by steamers, has expanded the settled lands, especially east of the mountains, and widened the country about the few centers here tofore drained by the trails and packroads. It is along the shores and river banks that the elemental nomenclature of W'ashington must be studied; on the trail and the railroad the settler is plant ing new American and immigrant names, or those derived from the aborigines.
