The Beauties Of The State Of Washington; A Book For Tourists

By Harry F. Giles

Book Overview

A vivid doorway to a vanished world, where rails hissed through emerald landscapes and towns woke to the first dawn of modern travel. The Beauties Of The State Of Washington invites you to walk with a nineteenth-century eye across the Pacific Northwest, yet feel the wonder with a contemporary traveller's heartbeat. This restored edition offers more than a travelogue; it is a regional handbook and illustrated travel guide that blends keen observations with a storyteller's warmth. Giles's commentary on Washington state attractions and the sweeping Pacific Northwest scenery renders place with texture-rivers, forests, routes, and bustling settlements-while capturing the mood and curiosities of holiday planning and family travel long before digital maps. The prose holds historical savour without sacrificing immediacy, making it accessible to casual readers and appealing to classic-literature collectors alike. A note on significance: the work stands as a bridge between early American travel writing and modern regional tourism discourse, offering insight into a formative era of West Coast exploration. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is not merely a reprint but a carefully restored cultural treasure. For lovers of nineteenth-century America and Pacific Northwest heritage, this volume is a rare find that speaks to today while honouring the past.
