Présentation de l'éditeur
The history of the State of Washmgton has been published occasionally in the form of expensive subscription volumes, augmented by the aid extended from generous individuals who were persuaded to have their biographies and portraits added for a monetary consideration. This book is written in the be Uef that the time has now come when there is a distinct use for a compact record in one volmne, free from money-enticing addenda and depending for success upon its own merits. It is intended primarily for the general reader, but the frequent citation to sources will make it usable in such high schools and colleges as may need a text in this subject. Acknowledgments of assistance have been made in footnotes throughout the work. It should, however, be recorded here that the difficult task of preparing Chapter XXXI on Federal Activity in the State has been greatly facilitated by the aid of United States Senator Samuel H. Piles, the members of President Roosevelt s Cabinet, and their assistants. The greatest difficulty arose from the fact that much of the information sout had never been segregated as to States. It may transpire that that chapter will blaze the way for a new appraisal of the increasing cooperation by the American nation with the individufd States. Governor Albert E. Mead has kindly permitted the use of the portraits of Territorial and State governors collected by him for the State, and George H. Himes, Assistant Secretary of the Oregon Historical Society, furnished a number of the other illustrations. The efficient and tireless help of Charles W. Smith, Assistant Librarian of the University of Washington, is also acknowledged with gratitude. EDMOND S. MEANY. XJOTVER flnT OF Washington, Seattle, December,
