Glimpses of Pioneer Life of Okanogan County, Washington

Glimpses of Pioneer Life In Okanogan County, Washington - A Publication of the Okanogan County Historical Society

‍

The articles in this book were first published in the Okanogan Independent and constitute a history of Okanogan County beginning in the early 1880s.

Prior to the proclamation in 1886, opening the old Columbia or Moses reservation to homestead and mineral entry, the territory now comprising Okanogan County was inhabited by few white men. Actual settlement of the county virtually began on a permanent basis in 1886. Two years later, though there was little property of a taxable nature, the legislature created Okanogan County from Stevens County.

Events are interwoven into the experiences of individuals rather than set out separately. Careful attention has been given to checking dates and facts and though there may be some variations in the recollection of events on the part of the pioneers, the incidents covered are substantially correct.
