Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the inaugural message of Elisha P. Ferry, the first Governor of the State of Washington. Delivered on November 18, 1889, the message encapsulates the historical moment of Washington's admission to the Union and sets the tone for the state's future. Ferry begins by co…mmemorating the long journey to statehood and the sacrifices made by Washington's pioneers. He then emphasizes the vast potential and bright future that lies ahead for the new state, highlighting its abundant resources, favorable climate, and strategic location. The message goes on to lay out the author's vision for Washington's development, stressing the importance of sound legislation, education, and infrastructure. Ferry also addresses issues of social justice, calling for the protection of workers and the establishment of institutions to support the vulnerable. His words reflect a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the young state and a firm belief in its ability to overcome obstacles and achieve greatness. Through this inaugural message, the author provides a glimpse into the hopes, aspirations, and guiding principles that shaped Washington's early years as a state. It offers valuable insights into the historical, economic, and social context of the time, and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of those who laid the foundation for the state's success. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Contact seller5-star sellerSoft cover. 1st Edition. 8vo., (8 ½ x 5 ¾ inches). Original printed wrappers (a bit toned, lower corner chipped). First edition. An important pamphlet in the history of Washington state and the American West. Ferry served two terms as the Governor of Washington Territory, and later went on to become the Governor of Washington St…ate. From the pamphlet: "No event of an extraordinary character has transpired within our Territory since the adjournment of the last Legislative Assembly. Our people have enjoyed uninterrupted health. Our progress in wealth and population has been as rapid as could have been expected and, under the circumstances, must be regarded as eminently satisfactory. Our isolated position and the great distance to be traveled, and the large expense incurred by immigrants will necessarily operate to retard our advancement until a continuous line of railroad to the Eastern States is secured. Our agricultural, manufacturing and mining industries have been unusually prosperous and, when we contrast our financial condition and business prosperity with that of other localities, we can realize how highly we are favored. Here, the laborer has received remunerative wages; capital has been profitably employed; manufactures have increased; the earth has yielded abundant harvests and all departments of business have been successfully prosecuted; while in other portions of our country wide spread financial trouble, embarrassment and distress have prevailed.".
