University of Illinois Press Graceland Cemetery
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Excellent reading for both tourists and armchair travelers Selzer’s work may also prove useful for genealogical collections." --Booklist"Though the book can be used a guide for do-it-yourself walking tours, it is lively joy to read on your couch. It is a book about, as Selzer writes, 'people who were famous in their day but haven’t had anything written about them since their epitaphs were carved. It’s easy to forget, but good to remember, that the people here were once alive, and that there was more to their lives than business transactions and weddings.'" --Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune"Most human beings resting in Graceland’s folds weren’t movers and shakers. Most were simply present for a time, but nevertheless interesting through some brief brush with greatness or ignominy. Selzer gives these fascinating transient creatures a few more moments in the sun." --Third Coast Review"In this remarkable compilation of anecdotes, Selzer reminds us that each of us has a life to live before death. We can prepare for death and maybe even consider Graceland as our resting place, but it’s a reminder that we, too, need to live our lives to the fullest because there will be people who remember us, and there may also be people who write about us. Graceland cemetery is what unites these people, and their life accomplishments have shaped our history, no matter how big or small." --NewCity"Through his deep research, Selzer has turned up fascinating stories about the famous and obscure people buried at Graceland. This handy guide offers a fresh way of looking at the city’s history: a compelling group portrait of Chicagoans from all walks of life."--Robert Loerzel, author of Walking Chicago: 35 Tours of the Windy City's Dynamic Neighborhoods and Famous Lakeshore

University of Washington Press Walking the High Desert
Book SynopsisFormer high desert rancher Ellen Waterston writes of a wild, essentially roadless, starkly beautiful part of the American West. Following the recently created 750-mile Oregon Desert Trail, she embarks on a creative and inquisitive exploration, introducing readers to a trusting, naïve, earnest, stubbly, grumpy old man of a desert that is grappling with issues at the forefront of national, if not global, concern: public land use, grazing rights for livestock, protection of sacred Indigenous ground, water rights, and protection of habitat for endangered species. Blending travel writing with memoir and history, Waterston profiles a wide range of people who call the high desert home and offers fresh perspectives on nationally reported regional conflicts such as the Malheur Wildlife Refuge occupation. Walking the High Desert invites readerswherever they may beto consider their own beliefs, identities, and surroundings through the optic of the high desert of southeastern Oregon.Trade Review"Readers of Oregon’s local history, advocates of the environment and high desert dwellers on the left and right side of the aisle will connect with this book. In Waterston’s classic voice that imparts her immense research while speaking to readers like a friend, Walking the High Desert is an important addition to Oregon’s literature about place." * Bend Magazine *"Whether or not you make it to this part of the country, Waterston will make you take a closer look at the place you call home." * Kirkus Reviews *"Walking the High Desert braids together the challenges of rural and small-town America with the opportunities for and threats to wilderness conservation. It’s tied together with the ribbon of Waterston’s own experiences as a rancher, writer and resident. This book shares iridescent insights." * Bookmonger *"This lyrical and passionate celebration of the Oregon high desert is devoted to delivering a compelling argument for its conservation...Walking the High Desert unpacks the complexity of conservation issues as lived experience, and will make a tremendous contribution as a defining text for Western conservation advocates and the policy questions they face." * Choice *"[A]n engaging commentary on many aspects of life and land in southeastern Oregon... For those with an appreciation for humanistic connections, this book will be a wonderful companion if you walk along the Oregon Desert Trail." * Journal of Geography *"[O]ffers im portant insight into the people and politics of southeastern Oregon's high desert country... While the title of the book conjures up a travelogue of sorts, the book itself is more a metaphorical journey, skillfully weaving together various strands of human experience, past and present, into a vibrant tapestry that brings this hardscrabble region to life." * Pacific Northwest Quarterly *

Book SynopsisHiking Washington's History is for hikers, as well as amateur historians, newcomers unfamiliar with the state's history and Northwest natives who know only part of that history.Trade ReviewComprehensive and well-researched, Bentley's trail guide breathes life into Washington state's natural landscapes by linking trails to historical events. . . . Whether you're interested in hiking or history, this read satisfies an urge for either. -- The Green Life * Sierra Club *Bentley's is the best kind of guidebook: intelligent, well-researched and easy to use. * The Oregonian *Hiking Icicle Ridge near Leavenworth, you might wonder who all those women were that so many of the lakes are named after. Along the Cape Flattery Trail… you might wonder how the area's earliest human inhabitants not only managed to eke out a living along the rocky, stormy Pacific coastline, but to actually thrive while doing so. Or on the Yacolt Burn Trail, south of Mount St. Helens, you might find yourself wondering what exactly is it about this area that spurred Skamania County to declare itself the world's first Sasquatch refuge…. if history is your thing, Bentley's book makes an invaluable resource as well as a fun read. * The Seattle Times *Here is a wonderful book!. Whether you regard Hiking Washington's History as a history book disguised as a hiking guide, or a trail guide with historical anecdote, get yourself a copy of this book and start planning for adventures across the state in 2011! * Kitsap Sun *Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements IntroductionThe Olympic Peninsula 1.
