Review:

"I have long regarded Washington State by Charles P. LeWarne as the most authoritative and well―rounded text for schools in the history of the Evergreen State. The prose of the new edition is even livelier than in the previous editions, and the contents have been updated to provide a comprehensive view of Washington’s past and present. I commend Washington State with enthusiasm."―John Findlay, University of Washington

"Dr. Charles LeWarne is the one author writing on Washington State history who has the academic standing, the high school teaching experience, and the respect of his social studies colleagues to produce a text that provides the academic rigor and yet readability to capture high school students’ interest. I have used his text in my Washington State history classes and would recommend others do so."―Mark Gale, Coupeville High School
