In the Shadow of the Mountain
In the Shadow of the Mountain is written by local writer, Lawrence D. “Andy” Anderson. The book covers the history of early Graham, Kapowsin, Benston, Electron, as well as upper Ohop Valley and other spots in the vicinity.
This wonderful 301-page book is as well researched as it is written.
Lawrence is a retired manager of the Federal Aviation Administration and lives in Graham with his wife. He says history of the Graham and Kapowsin area has been his passion of his for over four decades. He collected a large amount of information from people in the area, as well as from books and records. And, as you might guess, the book is packed with photos.
Although the book is currently out of print, you can check it out at the Eatonville Library and the Eatonville Historical Society has a copy as well.
