Summary:

This centennial history of Washington was commissioned in 1986. At that time, we were given a series of mandates. We were to avoid writing a textbook and to avail ourselves of up-to-date research and interpretation in the field of state history. The book was to be scholarly, yet appeal to the general reader. Working from an agreed-upon outline, we divided responsibility for drafting specific chapters. These chapter drafts were then exchanged and revised. The result is a collaborative account focusing on the major developments of the past century.
