Liberty's Last Post Office: A Story Of A Gold Mining Camp In Washington State, Wesley C. Engstrom
Liberty's Last Post Office: A Story Of A Gold Mining Camp In Washington State, Wesley C. Engstrom
Works by Local Authors
There was once a large center of activity in the Swauk Basin of upper Kittitas County. The place is called Liberty. Liberty was once the most action packed place in Kittitas County. At least it was for a while after gold was discovered in Swauk Creek. Like many gold camps the place boomed and ebbed over the years. Unlike some other places it never quite went completely bust. It came close, and fortunately for some it didn’t. It still exists today as a living ghost town.
The Liberty story has been told before in various ways. This telling of the …

The Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition And Seattle's Health Modernization, Shannon J. Rodman
The Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition And Seattle's Health Modernization, Shannon J. Rodman
All Master's Theses
This study examines the impacts of modernization in Seattle, Washington during the late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century. Using Seattle as a case study, this thesis looks at how modernization was presented at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition (AYPE) in 1909. During Seattle’s modernization phase, public health, sanitation, and racial fears associated with disease were of utmost importance. By looking at Seattle and its relationship with the AYPE, it becomes clear that the exposition forced Seattle to modernize to become the premier city in the West.

All Master's Theses
