About this title:

Synopsis: Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for Caxton Press
Place names are like the historical markers past which we all speed in our cars, too preoccupied to stop and enjoy them. The Strait of Juan de Fuca, Puyallup, Anacortes, Walla Walla—these are some of the place names of Washington State. Scratch the surface and spend a little time wondering from whence they came and you will uncover a wealth of lore, legend and local flavor.

About the Author: Doug Brokenshire is a world traveler, school teacher, aviator and retiered naval officer.  He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland in 1930 and earned his MA from Stanford University in 1962.
