NEW TITLES 

Slick as a Mitten 

Ezra Meeker’s Klondike Enterprise 

Dennis M. Larsen 

Ezra Meeker braved the Oregon Trail in 1852, and 

eventually became a hop farmer and broker in the Puget 

Sound country. He platted the town of Puyallup, Washington 

and served as its first mayor. By the 1880s he had 

built a fortune and a mansion. Then suddenly, a devastating 

scourge of aphids followed by a severe national depression, 

swept his assets away, “slick as a mitten.” He rescued 

his friends and neighbors when the local bank failed, 

however, by tapping his own capital to return funds to account holders. 

The Alaskan gold rush held renewed prospects for the financially 

ruined. Despite his advanced age, Meeker ventured to the treacherous 

Klondike four times, transporting and selling more than 60 tons of 

groceries to Yukon gold miners. The arduous hauling of eggs, potatoes, 

dried goods, and even live chickens, required steamers, dog teams, pack 

animals, human backs, flatboats, and scows. His wife, Eliza Jane, who 

remained closer to home, managed the food-drying and canning operation, 

manufacturing granulated eggs and dehydrated soup vegetables. 

Ezra delighted in his infant grandson, Wilfred, who accompanied him 

to Dawson in 1900. Four years of letters, most from Ezra to his beloved 

Eliza Jane, relate the details of his risky schemes and experiences, from 

business pursuits, to keeping warm, to the daily antics of his grandchild.

Shaper of Seattle 

Reginald Heber Thomson’s Pacific Northwest 

William H. Wilson 

“His achievements are woven into Seattle and the surrounding region 

so durably that they are taken for granted even as Puget Sound, Lake 

Washington, and Mount Rainier.” 

—Roy O. Hadley 

Young, ambitious, and college-educated, Reginald 

Heber Thomson was eager to make a big impression. 

Seattle was brimming with opportunity, but when his 

steamer docked at Yesler’s Wharf in 1881, the view was 

dismal. Nondescript wood-framed buildings and plank sidewalks 

sprawled along muddy streets. Thomson may have smelled the Puget 

Sound metropolis before he saw it. Utilities were crude to nonexistent. 

Pipes dumped the untreated contents of chamber pots and tin bathtubs 

straight into Elliott Bay, and a multitude of rats scurried around the 

piers. Recalling that earlier time, he wrote, “Looking at local surrounds, 

I felt that Seattle was in a pit, that to get anywhere we would be compelled 

to climb out of it if we could.” 

Soon, Thomson was surveying for his cousin’s firm. He quickly rose to 

partner and mingled with Seattle’s elite. In 1884 he was appointed city 

surveyor, and in 1892, city engineer. By then the booming population 

was in dire need of a workable sewage system and a clean, reliable water 

supply. Thomson delivered both and more, aided by his keen ability to 

select capable subordinates. He installed drain pipes and sewers where 

others had failed, and his gravity-powered Cedar River project replaced 

water pumped from turbid Lake Washington. To improve the ability 

of horses and carts to transport goods, he leveled several steep hills 

and filled the worst hollows. His 

municipal power plant lit homes, 

businesses, and streets. In addition 

to sewers, water, and regraded 

streets, the progressive, legendary 

engineer also straightened and 

dredged waterways, reclaimed 

tideflats, and installed countless 

miles of tunnels, bridges, and 

pavement. 

Later, he became a civic leader 

and was involved with the Port of 

Seattle and the Chittenden locks. 

For decades, Thomson labored

political and 

public controversy, such as the Boxley Creek flood that washed away a 

small lumbering community. Both a workaholic and a devoted family 

man, he possessed extraordinary intelligence, energy, integrity, and perseverance. 

He also was driven by his religious and political convictions. 

In Shaper of Seattle, author William H. Wilson has produced a comprehensive, 

critical examination, exploring key events and forces that 

shaped Reginald Heber Thomson throughout his youth, career, personal 

life, and waning years.

Finding Chief Kamiakin 

The Life and Legacy of a Northwest Patriot 

Richard D. Scheuerman and 

Michael O. Finley 

Photography by John Clement 

The arrival of unprecedented numbers of Oregon 

Trail immigrants stirred a cataclysmic upheaval that 

placed native peoples’ retention of lands and their 

ancient customs in jeopardy. On May 29, 1855, 

the Walla Walla Treaty Council commenced and 

two weeks later, Chief Kamiakin signed the Yakima 

Treaty of 1855 with great reluctance. He also resolved to resist threats 

to his people’s freedoms and transgressions on their lifeways. Finding 

Chief Kamiakin is his saga.

Greenscapes 

Olmsted’s Pacific Northwest 

Joan Hockaday 

Landscape architect John Charles 

Olmsted was mentored by Frederick 

Law Olmsted, designer of New York’s 

Central Park. In the early 1900s, the 

meticulous, visionary protégé brought 

his famous stepfather’s pastoral aesthetic 

to premier parks throughout 

the Pacific Northwest—green 

retreats that still refresh urban souls 

in Portland, Seattle, and Spokane. 


9" x 10½" • 224 pages 


“One hundred years later, when we enter an Olmsted-designed park, 

despite more traffic and development than even those visionaries could 

probably imagine, we feel submerged in solitude, shelter and a dose of 

peace sufficient to refresh even the 21st-century human spirit.” 

—Pacific Northwest Magazine

Making the Grade 

Plucky Schoolmarms of Kittitas Country 

Barb Owen 

Thirteen former Kittitas country schoolmarms reflect 

fondly on their days of teaching in remote locales between 

1914 and 1943. Usually, their classes were small with multiple 

grade levels in a single room, and the new teachers also 

served as janitors, fire builders, cooks, and water haulers. 

For most, it was their first job and for some, an introduction 

to country living as well. The young women were away 

from friends and family. They often lacked supplies. Facing 

these ordeals with creativity, dedication, and pluck, they 

enhanced the lives of many children, and earned the adoration of their 

rural populations.
