History of the Seattle District, 1896-1968: 72 Years in Peace and War

Abstract

This story of Seattle District, Corps of Engineers, United States Army relates simply the major accomplishments, the critical turning points in public policy, and a little of the guiding personalities that have shaped the organization and its work. A great array of statistical, technical and biographical detail is quite beyond our resources and, probably, the interest of readers. Our purpose is to picture to the people we serve the "who, what and why" of our existence in the broad framework of 72 years' settlement and development in the Pacific Northwest. Statistical detail is largely relegated to pertinent appendices. A few anecdotes and comments, perhaps unimportant in themselves, are related merely to enliven the manuscript.
