"Little more than 60 years ago this county was an unbroken wilderness of woods. It has been given to the writer of this history to have lived in Snohomish County almost since its beginning. The names of the pioneers whose lives and deeds are here recorded are to him not those of historic personages, but are friends and companions and fellow workers, nearly all of whom have passed away. This volume is dedicated to the memory of these pioneers and has been written with the hope so to clothe the dry bones of history with the flesh and blood of their very human lives that they who now enjoy the results of their toil and sacrifice may, also, learn to know and love them." [from the preface] The standard history of Snohomish County, Washington and in extraordinarily good condition for such large and heavy volumes.
