Description: ~ Heroes and Heroic Deeds of the Pacific Northwest ~ Volume 1 ~ The Pioneers ~ Copyright, 1929 ~ ~ By H. L. Talkington, A.M. LL.D. ~ ~ Printed and Bound in U. S. A. ~ ~ The CAXTON PRINTERS, Ltd. ~ Caldwell, Idaho ~ Excerpts from the PREFACE: "It is given to few people to be so close to history as are the people of the Northwest. Here, within the brief space of a hundred years are found the primitive man, the discoverer, the fur-trader, the explorer, the missionary, the immigrant, the pioneer, and the miner. Many of the facts may be obtained from the lips of living witnesses, who speak from personal knowledge, or from knowledge gained from a preceding generation." "It has been the author's good fortune during his many years' residence in the Northwest either to come in personal contact with every phase of life here depicted or to know intimately those who had. The period or periods of history here mentioned are of great interest, fascination, and value because they show so well "history in the making" and afford splendid opportunities for dealing with "source materials." "In this work we have sought to tell the larger story by a series of smaller "type" stories, each complete in itself yet an integral part of the whole. This is not done by making statements or deducing conclusions, but by giving facts sufficient to enable the reader to form his own conclusions; not repeating something, simply because it occurred at another time or place yet was not essentially different from what had been given."
