2014 signed PB in excellent condition, by an Olympia author and member of OUUC. A Washington Territory family experiences love, loss, successes, challenges, and turbulent family dynamics in Tales from Schneider's Creek, the sequel to Deborah Jane Ross's novel Konrad and Albertina. Written as a set of nine tales, the book follows the lives, livelihood, and adventures of Schneider family at the end of the nineteenth century. "Deborah Ross has pieced together an amazing collection of customs, property records, vital statistics, and news items to create very credible lives full of personal thoughts and interactions."-Mark Foutch, former Mayor of Olympia and current President of the Olympia Historical Society and Bigelow House Museum.

From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "So cool! What a fantastic sequel to the first book! Konrad is my great great grandfather."; "In the much-awaited sequel to Konrad and Albertina, the author revisits these true characters from Olympia's early history and their progeny. As with Konrad and Albertina, careful historical research from newspapers and other archives sheds a fascinating light on the times, the industry, and the geography of the Olympia area. Interspersed in the narrative are true quotes from the local newspaper. Those quotes often give only terse accounts of life-changing events, but the author then provides expanded and insightful narratives of the family's personal history. A wonderful read!"
