A quick 95-page anecdotal history of the San Juan Islands. I found it interesting as it gave me background and provided extra info on both current and historical places we've visited on San Juan, Orcas & Lopez.

Checked out this book while planning a trip to the San Juans. I love how OLD this book is! Written in a different era. A little dry and factual, but interesting overall.
