Beach of Heaven: A History of Wahkiakum County

Irene Martin

Synopsis:
Beach of Heaven is a history of one of the earliest settled areas in Washington. Birthplace of both the state's canned salmon industry and the cooperative extension movement, Wahkiakum County has a historical significance far beyond its borders. Today it stands at the cusp of major change as the rural occupations of fishing, farming, and logging, upon which the county has traditionally depended, suffer from outside influences and demographic shifts.
