<div>I third this one....as I too, enjoy learning the history of where I'm living. As a recent transplant to the PNW; the lore, myths, and local history is quite fascinating.</div> <div> </div> <div>I wonder if you read the same book I have here; "Indian Legends of the Pacific Northwest" by Ella Clark? It's a collection of more than one hundred tribal tales, 'culled from the oral tradition of the Indians of Washington and Oregon; of the mountains, lakes, and rivers; of the creation of the world and the heavens above.' Chris bought this book when he first arrived via sailboat to WA.</div> <div> </div> <div>For myself; I love learning the history of the names of places...rivers, peaks, etc; whether it be from Native Amercian tribal history or local early settlers; makes my adventures hiking and exploring even more meaningful; I can look at the very same view of a mountain stream or peak and put myself in the past 100 or more years ago...imagining what
life was like back then..........</div> <div> </div> <div>Ria....aka...Maria<BR><BR><B><I>"t.n. turner" <barnumbaileypdx@hotmail.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <STYLE> .hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body.hmmessage { FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma } </STYLE> <BR>I second this!

It was really interesting and I wish I could remember the title, but it's probably very easy to search, as that's how I found it on-line at the library. <BR><BR>So I would love more information on the names, etc , of the PNW!<BR>tammy<BR><BR><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE> <HR> Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2008 21:51:00 -0800<BR>From:
