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! <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
