Beschreibung:
Retired Seattle Pacific University Associate Professor Dr. Richard D. Scheuerman grew up on a small Palouse Country farm between Endicott and St. John, Washington. He holds a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership from Gonzaga University, an M.A. in History from Pacific Lutheran University, and a B.A. in History and Education from Washington State University. The co-author of more than ten books on Pacific Northwest history, he has received the Washington State Historical Society's Robert Gray Medal, the Washington Governor's Award for Excellence in Teaching, a Schneidmiller Foundation grant, and the University of California-Riverside Rupert Costo Medallion for Research in Native American History.
Enhanced with spectacular photographs from John Clement, travel through time among the Palouse Country's beauty and expanse, starting with its First Peoples, then moving through the native-born Americans and Canadians, Irish and British, Chinese and Japanese, Empire, Volga, and Black Sea Germans, Norwegians, and Swedes who came and formed distinct settlements. Chapters cover the events that prompted emigration, describe the settlers' transitions and living conditions, chronicle significant people and families, discuss major influences that impacted the population, and recount how the communities grew and changed.
