The following selections from observations and experiences during a residence of sixteen years on the Pacific Coast while they do not claim to describe fully that portion of the country nor to give any account of its great natural wealth and resources yet indicate something of its characteristic features and attractions more especially those of the Puget Sound region. This remote corner of our territory hitherto almost unknown to the country at large is rapidly coming into prominence and is now made easy of access by the completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The vast inland sea popularly known as Puget Sound ramifying in various directions the wide-spreading and majestic forests the ranges of snow-capped mountains on either side the mild and equable climate and the diversifiediv resources of this favored region excite the astonishment and admiration of all beholders. To the lovers of the grand and beautiful unmarred as yet by any human interference who appreciate the freedom from conventionalities which pertain to longer-settled portions of the globe it presents an endless field for observation and enjoyment. There is already a steady stream of emigration to this new land of promise and every thing seems to indicate for it a vigorous growth and development and a brilliant and substantial future. v CONTENTS.
