Washington State History: Want to know more?

 



Spokane, in Washington State, might not be your ancestral home but it is your NOW-home. Would you like to learn more of Spokane's most interesting history? Here are links for learning:

** www.historylink.org - "the free online encyclopedia of Washington state history" with nearly 8000 articles now available.

** www.spokanehistorical.org - maintained by EWU professor, Larry Cebula, this is "a web and mobile platform for telling stories of Spokane and Eastern Washington."

** YouTube has a good dozen or more videos concerning Spokane history. One particularly good one, dating back to 1969, was "Spokane: First 100 Years," by Robert Pryor. 

** I also enjoyed these: 

     * Remembering Spokane, a KSPS Documentary

     * Chief Spokane Garry

     *  Kiss of Death: Remembering Liberty Park


NOW with that idea in your head, wouldn't you guess that there were history-explaining-exploring websites on your ancestral place???
