Overview

Stewart Holbrook was a high school dropout who emerged from logging camps to become the author of three dozen books, the Pacific Northwest's foremost storyteller, one of the nation's most popular historians, and a satirical painter known as "Mr. Otis."

Today readers are rediscovering Holbrook's colorful and irreverent accounts of Pacific Northwest history. Wildmen, Wobblies, and Whistle Punks collects twenty-six of Holbrook's best writings about the region. Combining solid scholarship with humor and a gift for celebrating the offbeat, Holbrook's stories record a vibrant, often overlooked side of Northwest history. Here are forgotten scandals and murders; stories of forest fires, floods, and other calamities; tales of loggers and life in the logging camps; and profiles of various lowbrow characters--radicals, do-gooders, dreamers, schemers, and zealots.
