Clarence C. Dill (Paperback)
The Life of a Western Politician
Kerry E. Irish
Clarence C. Dill won election in 1914 as a U.S. Representative from Spokane, Washington. He led Congress in drafting the Radio Act of 1927 and the Federal Communications Act of 1934. Dill also effectively lobbied FDR to authorize Grand Coulee Dam. In 1934, at the height of his prestige, he mysteriously retired. This first-ever biography reveals Dill’s place as one of the Northwest’s most influential political leaders.

Finding Chief Kamiakin (Paperback)
The Life and Legacy of a Northwest Patriot
by Richard D. Scheuerman and Michael O. Finley; photographs by John Clement.
Finding Chief Kamiakin
is the story of a prominent chief of the Yakamas; leaders of both the Sahaptin and Salish tribes often sought his counsel. Through personal aptitude as well as family bonds, he emerged as one of the region's most influential chiefs. He cautiously welcomed White newcomers and sought to learn beneficial aspects of their culture. His dignified manner and attire impressed both soldiers and missionaries.
In the 1850s, the arrival of unprecedented numbers of White immigrants caused upheaval that would threaten the very existence of the Plateau's native people. On May 29, 1855, the Walla Walla Council commenced with a brief meeting attended by some 5,000 Indians, including Chief Kamiakin. Two weeks later, he reluctantly signed the Yakima Treaty. He also resolved to fight against the destruction of his people and desecrations upon the land.

Iron Pants (Paperback)
Oregon’s Anti-New Deal Governor, Charles Henry Martin
Gary Murrell
In 1934, Oregon’s new Democratic governor, Charles Henry Martin, began an attack on Northwest labor unions. After political defeat in 1938, Martin blamed his troubles on the National Labor Relations Board, accused FDR of being a Communist and Fascist, and counseled appeasement with Hitler. His military career, from 1887 to 1927, is equally intriguing.

Not As Briefed (Paperback)
From the Doolittle Raid to a German Stalag
Colonel C. Ross Greening
Compiled and edited by Dorothy Greening and Karen Morgan Driscoll
WSU art graduate Ross Greening painted and wrote a one-of-a-kind record of action in World War II. He piloted a B-25 in the 1942 Doolittle Raid, was shot down over Italy in 1943, escaped from a POW train, hid out in the mountains of northern Italy, and ended up in a German stalag. His remembrances, as well as his remarkable artwork illustrating the events of this era, make compelling reading.
