"Scoop" Jackson, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos, these are the people at the epicenter of events that shaped the Evergreen State.

Описание: Johan Martin Dostmann was born in 1730 in Nassig, Germany, and today his descendants can be found throughout the United States of America. One of them is Roy C. Ritter III, and he traces his family's origins in this detailed history. Dostmann immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1752 with his sister and several friends and cousins, and so began the story of an enduring German-American family. After some time in Frederick County, Maryland, and Washington County, Pennsylvania, the family, which became known as Dustman, took advantage of the settlement opportunities in the newly formed Connecticut Western Reserve of Ohio, joining the state's earliest pioneers. Johan Martin Dostmann died before that journey, but his surviving children and grandchildren made their mark in Ohio, particularly in Trumbull and Mahoning counties, where they prospered. Covering the first four generations of the Dustman family, this book will be a valuable resource for the descendants of Johan Martin Dostmann.

Описание: A freshly updated edition, including new chapters on salient topics, telling the fascinating story of the people, land, and events that make up the Evergreen State. Historian Harry Ritter makes history anything but boring in this sweeping view of Washington's history, beginning with the Native Americans who lived there by fishing the streams and rivers and ending with the tech boom in 20th and 21st Century Washington. In between there's the story of the Native and European conflicts, Lewis and Clark's expedition, The Pig War, construction of the Grand Coulee Dam, and more. Learn about Washington's Natives, explorers, traders, missionaries, loggers, farmers, inventors, and politicians, from Chief Seattle to Dr. John McLoughlin to William E. Boeing. The diversity and rich culture of the land was shaped--and continues to be shaped--by these people and events of the great state of Washington. New content written exclusively for this new edition brings the reader up to date on important happenings in the state since the book was originally published in 2003, including the story of Starbucks, Amazon's empire, and developments in Washington's tech industry.
Описание: "A travel-sized history book on Alaska, with up-to-date information and historical photographs about the Last Frontier`s past and present."--
