I also love book set in NY but since the PNW has been my home for 3 decades, I enjoy learning about this region. I could not have survived in the 1880s here (in a posh NYC townhouse, yes, but not in the middle of a coal factory!) but I'm happy to sit in my home with a view to Mt. Baker and read about those hearty souls who went before us. Thanks for the recommendation!
Love because I have this book on hold at the library and can't wait to read it, AND because I love that trail too. We lived close to there when kid #1 was born and I spent a few of those mindless days of early motherhood walking the trails with her strapped to me. The old mining stuff is so cool! I desperately want to see what the mines look like inside, but that's obviously not an option!
