This economic and political history of territorial Washington identifies factors such as dividing mountain ranges (The Cascades) and lack of adequate internal transportation as explanations for Washington's 36-year delay before joining the Union in 1889. Ficken, the author of several books and articles about the Pacific Northwest, describes Western Washington's link to San Francisco, and Eastern Washington's reliance on Portland via the Columbia River before railway tracks unified the region. The book contains several historical photos. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
