<br>Hey Ria,<br>I think that is the book! I really enjoyed it. I also like to read diaries of the western pioneers, they can be really brutal but very interesting. <br><br>I too, find myself standing places that I've read about, thinking about others who had been here 100 or so years before me.<br>tammy<br><blockquote><hr>Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2008 22:46:42 -0800<br>From: riasc123@yahoo.com<br>Subject: Re: [pct-l] Oregon PCT Names<br>To: barnumbaileypdx@hotmail.com; zaqueltooocool@gmail.com; wayneskraft@comcast.net<br>CC: pct-l@backcountry.net<br><br><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="EC_replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px;"> <style>

</style> <br>I second this! As a PNW-er, I enjoy learning about the area I live in. <br><br>I took a book out of the library in the last couple years, I don't remember the name, but the premise was, the different native american myths associated with PNW hikes and peaks. 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:

I found it interesting. If not here, you could send them off line to me. I can print them off and put them out for the hikers to read.</div> <div> </div> <div>PCT MOM</div></blockquote><br> <hr> Connect and share in new ways with Windows Live. <a href="http://www.windowslive.com/share.html?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_Wave2_sharelife_012008" target="_blank">Get it now!</a> _______________________________________________<br>Pct-l mailing list<br>Pct-l@backcountry.net<br>To unsubscribe or change list options (digest, etc):<br>http://mailman.backcountry.net/mailman/listinfo/pct-l<br></blockquote><br>
