Books by Carlos Arnaldo Schwantes

The colorful saga of miners and settlers struggling to get from here to there in the days before railroads reached the West is recreated in this book combining historical photographs, advertisements, posters, and contemporary accounts. The author describes in detail the technology of pre-industrial modes of transportation.

Historian Carlos A. Schwantes studies the forces that shaped the history of the labor movement on either side of the forty-ninth parallel and the reason for the eventual demise of the socialist movement in Washington State and its continuing vigor in British Columbia.
