E&MC Railway Book Signing

On Saturday Jan 8th, from 11 AM to 4 PM, the authors of the book “Everett & Monte Cristo Railway” will be selling and signing copies of their new softbound version, at the Granite Falls Historical Museum.  The hardcover edition of this book sold out completely a few years ago, although copies have been offered on eBay from $200-$300.  The new book is printed in the same large format, but sells for only $39.95, with over 230 pages and over 200 photographs of early Snohomish County.  This is a great opportunity to garner hours of enjoyment at a truly affordable price, and to speak directly with the authors who put thousands of hours of research and writing into the book.

Authors :     Philip R Woodhouse; Daryl Jacobson; Bill Petersen

Women’s Legacy Project milestone!

Women's Legacy Project

Thanks to Margaret Riddle, Betty Lou Gaeng of the Sno-Isle Genealogical Society and Louise Lindgren of Index for their new additions to the Women’s Legacy Project biographical histories.  We now have 60 of 100 planned women’s stories – now including many untold stories of Native American women and Louise’s account of the life of a midwife, a profession that still exists in a much different form.  Please look over the updated list.  The names, professions, places and other details for finding stories you are interested in can be found by using our google custom search from our website.

More are to come, we have several being worked on – to contact us about contributions, email me below.
