The 1885 Edition of B.F. Alley and J.P. Munro's book Washington Territory was so exquisitely written history of the west coast of America in a mixed style of realism and poetics, flare with fire, that over the years since I first read it in 1985 that I have decided to re-issue it's publication with additional information, history and illustrations in 2021.It is, without doubt, the most outstanding book re-published anew by Parsons Publishing Company in our thirty-five years of existence. In this new era of instant news bites and quick news headlines, we have felt that this classic needs to be re-exposed to the reading public in bite-size pieces that can be digested more slowly than the original 1885 publication of 400 pages.Starting with the first Chapter of the original book, we have elected to submit just a bit-of-history-at-a-time via Kindle eBooks, and each sentence is packed with information.It might be of interest to the readers that these same first chapters can also be found in other west coast counties histories by the same authors, paid for by those locations who were trying to promote their attributes to eastern populations and business concerns. It is also these same first chapters that caught the attention the most that they were repeated in all the different books in the 1880s.
