Numerous long-forgotten literary pieces about Washington State once enjoyed wide regional and national readership. Some were bestsellers. The stories they told of coming of age in Seattle, living in a San Juan Island lighthouse, piloting Columbia River paddleboats, and farming on the Palouse captured readers' imaginations. They offered vivid depictions of the region's people and places--often with harsh renderings of its previously whitewashed history. While most have fallen out of print and circulation, collectively they reveal an impressive literary legacy.Salmon Eaters to Sagebrushers gives an informed and careful examination of these "vintage" fiction, nonfiction, and poetry works--all at least 50 years old. Based on his popular Retrospective Review column in the Washington State Historical Society journal Columbia: The Magazine of Northwest History, Peter Donahue's new essay collection is a hybrid of literary criticism, history, and biography, combining reappraisals of more than forty titles with short excerpts and author profiles.Each of the included authors made notable contributions to Northwest literature. Their novels, memoirs, and poetry--spanning 70 years, from the late 1880s to the mid-1960s--evoke countless aspects of the Northwest. In portraying everyday life, presenting sub-regions such as the Columbia River Basin and Olympic Peninsula, and casting a critical eye on social issues such as white settlement and early industrialization, they reflect how Northwesterners regarded themselves and their region throughout most of the last century--perceptions that continue to shape Northwest identity.

"swallowing paregoric babies published by the ever outstanding Uncollected Press (USA) is Pete Donohue's first full-length collection: let me tell you that this is one hell of a debut: the poems assault all of the senses and not gently either: poems that have been crafted, first-hand, from the unseen, unwanted crevices of this life: there are references to Bukowski, Hunter S Thompson, Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Bob Dylan, J J Cale: poems of drugs and suicide, love and friendship, of nature, of humour, strike every page with a clarity and openness that is missing in so much poetry these days: this is not an easy ride and the terrain is often hostile, brutal and unrepenting: there are poems swirling with a soft tenderness and empathy, portrait poems, reflective ponderous poems, and poems that soar and sing with hope: read the poems 'she don't lie' 'richard's bay window' 'a real poet' 'crocuses and crackheads' 'bullfrog love' 'loose that noose' 'visions' 'papal dispensation' 'librarian' 'people pissing you about' 'those stained' 'forever' 'is in the sky' 'celebritease' and you'll know what I mean: this book will no doubt further Pete's presence in the small-press and it shall be well deserved: this is a formidable collection and I have a very strong feeling that it may be one of the best and strongest collections of poetry that I'll have the pleasure of reading this year."

Saint Peter was a crucial figure in early Christianity; as one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, he oversaw the formal establishment of the early church and became the first Bishop of Rome. Peter's formative years were spent as a fisherman. It was here that the purpose of his disciple status was unveiled: Peter was to become a 'fisher of men'; helping others believe in the Lord. These and other events are told in this biography, which investigates the ways in which Peter sought to enlighten and catch souls of men, that they be set on a righteous path to God and the Holy Spirit. Peter's humble beginnings soon transform through his pursuit of God; he accompanies Jesus as one of his twelve apostles, and is listed foremost among them in all sources. His spiritual guidance and devotion to the mission of Christ has great bearing on the foundation of the Christian church; Peter also witnessed the Resurrection of Jesus first-hand, and delivered some of the first sermons following this revelatory event.

This book critically examines all the early and important Petrine pseudepigrapha to identify a distinctive Petrine theology which, it is believed, was later swamped by the tide of western orthodoxy. Despite the diversity of the books and tractates, ranging from Jewish-Christian writings to avowedly Gnostic works, a remarkably consistent Petrine tradition does emerge; and Peter is shown essentially to be neither the impetuous, undiscerning, and even vacillating figure portrayed in the Gospels and Acts, nor the magisterial and pontifical figure of later Church tradition, but a visionary who was concerned above all to hold together both the moral and cognitive aspects of the Faith.
