In very good condition with minor wear.

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. Squak, Pysht, Hoh, Skagit, Puyallup, Sequim, Duckabusg, Quilcence - 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.

Light-hearted, yet factual, Dougs portrayal of historical places and events makes for amusing, informative reading for local residents and travelers, alike. A Washington state fold-out map inside the cover, and registrations in the text and index help establish the place names in their geographical context.

Readers of all ages browsing through this do-it-yourself history book will develop a personal understanding and appreciation of history as it relates to Washington State Place Names.
