Description
Nine noted regional and national experts here explore Washington’s coming of age. Essays delve into the frustration of territorial residents with Abraham Lincoln’s presidency. Washington’s struggle for statehood, the state’s constitutional convention, suffragist Abigail Scott Duniway’s fight for Washington women’s rights, and the role of the Hanford nuclear reservation in American history. Former governor and senator Daniel J. Evans, political correspondent Louis Cannon, and Gordon Hirabayashi, who protested the World War II internment of Japanese Americans in a highly publicized legal case, provide their personal reflections upon recent state history. Other contributors include Patricia Nelson Limerick, Howard R. Lamar, John McClelland, Jr., James M. Dolliver, Ruth B. Moynihan, and Robert W. Johannsen.
David H. Stratton is professor emeritus of history at Washington State University
