[or-roots] Northwest history books online

[Marilyn Schwartz]

I found a wonderful web site, one of those you could get lost in.  It's
called "Classics in Washington History" on the Washington Secretary of State
web site.  It has the full-text of some very interesting-sounding works.
You do have to download a viewer, but it's free and only takes a few
minutes.  It's worth it.  Once you click on a title, you can then do a
search of the publication.  I found my great-great-grandfather mentioned in
the History of Yakima County.  Cool!

Here are titles available after you click on "Wagon Trains and the Oregon
Trail."  Enjoy!
