Tell me about it. Coming in to a lot of this knowledge over the last couple years I feel I feel in over my head. Trying to soak up as much as possible especially for the Grays Harbor region. Seems like every day I find new historical records. That said, feel free to PM me any historical papers you feel like sharing.
