1 comments about Pioneers of the Olympic Peninsula.
- In this work, Leroy smith paints a vivid picture of the olympic peninsula from his early childhood through his adolescence and adulthood. Many of the events in the book happen between 1895 and 1920, and include milestones such as the early homesteads and the building of highway 101 through the northwest corner of the peninsula.
Apart from forays to Port Angeles for mail and to respond to the draft for WWI, the location for this personal chronology mainly stays within the northwest quadrant of the peninsula - focusing on the Hoh river valley, and the Bocachiel store (which the author owned for many years).
This work, although mostly anecdotal and based on the authors personal experiences rather than setting out to make a real history of the peninsula does achieve its goal of making real a portion of this country in a time that has now passed into mere memory.
This part of the peninsula is just as wild today as it was in Leroy's time: perhaps now even moreso, since wildlife has had a chance to recover from the effects of hunters early in the last century. We cannot know where we should go without knowing where we've been - and for its part this book does a good job of showing how things came to be the way they are today.
Encyclopedic by no means, this book was still a pleasant read and a good account of the life of one man growing up on the Olympic Peninsula.
