Early San Juan County by LaVerne Tate,San Juan County Historical Society Pdf

San Juan County was established in 1880 following the famous winter trek and steep descent through the Hole-in-the-Rock Trail to Bluff, Utah. Behind the settlement of this community by the San Juan River is a story of tenacity, determination, and hardship. The Hole-in-the-Rock was a sandstone crevice discovered fortuitously by pioneers when a wild ram escaped its pursuers and descended to the river by that route. After blasting, building up the grade, and lowering by ropes, the wagon train finally emerged through the crevice to the river below and finished the last difficult miles into Bluff. Miner and photographer Charles Goodman documented the early days of San Juan County, from the production of bricks and molasses to the establishment of Bluff Oil Company, and many of his unique images, dating from 1892 to 1913, are included in this volume.

Wild Plants of the San Juan Islands, 2nd Ed. by Anonim Pdf

* The first comprehensive field guide to the San Juans * Also covers the Gulf Islands and southern Vancouver Island * Includes an annotated checklist of all vascular plants recorded for San Juan County Washington's jewel-like San Juan Islands, outdoor playground for both foot-and water-borne visitors, are also a joy and curiosity for the flower and plant lover, both amateur and professional. On these hilly, rocky islands, wild plants appear that would seem more properly to belong in the desert areas of eastern Washington, while other plants, common as grass in the western part of the state, are strangely absent from the Islands. This authoritative field guide, illustrates and describes more than 190 species of wildflowers, shrubs, trees and weeds that occur commonly throughout the Islands as well as the nearby Gulf Islands and southern Vancouver Island, Canada. The plant descriptions are divided by habitats-meadows, open rocky outcrops, woodlands, maritime, fresh water, disturbed sites, Mt. Constitution -- under which they are listed by type, then color. The text also includes information on how the climate, topography and geology of the Islands affect plant life. Of special interest to serious students is the only annotated checklist in print of all vascular plants recorded for San Juan County. San Juan visitors as well as the Islanders themselves will find that this handy, compact guide adds a new and enjoyable dimension to their walks and wanders around these delightful island retreats.
