Paperback. Condition: Good. At a bend in the Palouse River, in the shadow of Gold Hill, rests the town of Potlatch, Idaho. It projects an image of gritty, working-class living.

It is a history of the Pacific Northwest in microcosm--the exploitation of natural resources; the impact of big business upon the development of a rural area; and ordinary people making a place their home.Company Town gives us insights into the life of a rural community and follows its progress through the decades. It shows the close ties between community life and the larger spheres of the timber industry, regional and national economics, and international events. The book imparts a sense of what it was like to work in the sawmill and live in what the Potlatch Lumber Company had planned as a model town.Keith Petersen received the 1987 Award of Merit from the American Association for State and Local History for his work on Company Town. Co-published with the Latah County Historical Society, Moscow, Idaho.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Among the Northwest Coast Indians (Tlingit, Haida, and others), potlatches traditionally are lavish community gatherings marking important events, such as funerals or marriages. In celebrations that often last many days, sumptuous meals are served; legends about clans and ancestors are sung and enacted with dances, masks, costumes, and drums; totem poles are often raised; and gifts are presented to all guests. Through this custom, cultural ties are renewed and strengthened. Using details from historical potlatches, and skillfully weaving in legends about animals and spirits revered by Natives Raven, Grizzly Bear, Salmon, Frog Mary Beck creates a compelling account of the potlatch ceremony and its place in a community s celebration of life, death, and continuity. Oliver, Marvin (illustrator).…
