A stunning visual record of the Methow Valley's rich history and heritage.  This 228-page, art quality hardcover book contains more than 300 historic photographs from the Shafer Historical Museum's archive, many of them shared by the families of the early settlers to the valley and first towns:  Winthrop, Twisp, Silver, Mazama and Carlton.  After the opening of the Moses Columbia Indian Reservation in 1886 the Methow Valley became one of the last western valleys opened to homesteading, mining, ranching, logging and trapping.  This book provides a unique glimpse of the early valley history, in text and images, most never before seen in print.  This book is the result of a multi-year project of the Shafer Historical Museum to document the lives and culture of the emigrant families who moved here after the Columbia Reservation opened.  Stories, oral histories, and photographs gathered from prominent old families of the valley helped to bring this book to fruition.
