In the early days of the twentieth century, the Mosquito Fleet played a colorful and important part in the life and economic development of the Puget Sound country. The fleet was composed of a myriad of steamboats of all sizes—each with a personality of its own. Many of these vessels have become legendary. Scurrying around the Sound in every sort of weather, the only links between many towns and settlements, these craft formed the largest and most picturesque fleet of its kind the world has known. They wrote an important chapter in Pacific Northwest history. This is their story, told by one who helped to bring the Mosquito Fleet to its golden age and then watched it wane. ECHOES OF PUGET SOUND is also the story of Torger Birkeland, who came to America as a young lad with his family and started working as a whistle punk in loggings at the age of eleven. At twenty he finally turned to sea, and in this book, he gives a vivid account of his experiences of life on Puget Sound in those early 1900s. Richly illustrated throughout with black & white photographs.

Excerpt from Echoes From Dreamland Poetry in our age is said to be losing its power as well as its popularity. If this be true we are certainly losing a fruitful source of pleasure and refinement, for in poetry we find expression for our tenderest affections and our deepest emotions. Few things, surrounded by modern commercialism, are capable of maintaining their form for half a century or even a decade. Poetry with the rest must keep pace with tne time, and the prize will be for him who grasps the spirit of the coming day, and touches the finer chord in the hearts of man. Not many among our honored deadare more reverently remembered than the author of verse and song. When the present writers have gone from our view and the product of their pens has nearly vanished, then it is that the true lights will yield their richness.

The battles to protect ancient forests and spotted owls in the Northwest splashed across the evening news in the 1980s and early 1990s. Empire of Timber re-examines this history to demonstrate that workers used their unions to fight for a healthy workplace environment and sustainable logging practices that would allow themselves and future generations the chance to both work and play in the forests. Examining labor organizations from the Industrial Workers of the World in the 1910s to unions in the 1980s, Empire of Timber shows that conventional narratives of workers opposing environmental protection are far too simplistic and often ignore the long histories of natural resource industry workers attempting to protect their health and their futures from the impact of industrial logging. Today, when workers fear that environmental restrictions threaten their jobs, learning the history of alliances between unions and environmentalists can build those conversations in the present.
