- catalog abstract ""The Mosquito Fleet plied the waterways of Puget Sound, Seattle exploded with activity, rebuilding after the Great Fire of 1889, and the Olympic Mountains had become a community obsession." "No one knows what lay only fifty miles to the west. Politicians speculated. Wild myths circulated. Charlatans made their claims. Finally, the Seattle Press mounted an official expedition to uncover, once and for all, the mystery of the mountains. The floodgates into the wild Olympics were opened." "From dispatches of the famous Press Expedition - selected pages of the Seattle Press reproduced in facsimile - to the diary of Private Harry Fisher of the 1890 O'Neil Expedition, Exploring the Olympic Mountains is not only a window on life in the Pacific Northwest, it is also a mirror of late-nineteenth-century values and attitudes toward nature. Extensive annotation and footnotes by historians along with original illustrations and maps guide the reader in understanding events as they occurred."--Jacket.".
