From hardscrabble days as homesteaders and farmers in the 1880s to becoming successful entrepreneurs of the postwar boom generation, Italians settled and later thrived in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Italians labored in several industries, including railway tie hacking in Idaho, coal mining in Black Diamond, logging in Aberdeen, canning salmon in Astoria, terra-cotta and brick manufacturing in Taylor, and growing onions in Walla Walla. Those who ventured into business later grew notable local companies such as DeLaurenti Food & Wine, Pacific Food Imports, Oberto Sausage, Napoleon Oil, and La Panzanella Crackers. Further still, Italians in the area contributed to inventions from the collapsible crab pot and trawl nets to the atomic bomb, the vaudeville circuit, the Pellegrini bean, and one-of-a-kind accordions. Italian pioneers in the Pacific Northwest also have a connection to Hemingway, Elvis, President Kennedy, Mother Cabrini, and the Loprinzis, the "strongest family in America." Today, over 300,000 Italian Americans call this region home, and it is the author's hope that this book highlights the contributions of many Italians, known and unknown.

More History from the Pacific Northwest The Olympic Mountains rise up from the sea with moss-draped forests growing right to the water's edge. Glaciers crown steep slopes while alpine meadows and lush valleys teem with elk, deer, cougars, bears, and species known nowhere else on earth. Though Seattle is still a young city, growing and changing, much of its short past is already lost-but not forgotten. For more than 100 years, the Pacific Northwest has been making music history. In this new retrospective, rare photographs evoke the musical memories of days gone by. For more than half a million years, volcano Mount Mazama towered over southern Oregon. From time to time, it erupted, spreading pumice, ash, and cinders for miles around. As the only maximum-security prison in the state, the Oregon State Penitentiary (OSP) has housed some of the most violent criminals on the West Coast, including brutal serial killers Charley Panzram in 1915 and Jerry Brudos in 1969. Portland is not only the site of numerous marine terminals along the Willamette and Columbia Rivers but also home to much of our American maritime history.

Writer of history about Italians set in Europe and the Pacific Northwest.

As a story-attentive being, curiosity is a big influence in my writing life. Following my curiosity, while at home or while traveling, has led me to develop many story ideas that I cannot wait to share with you. I love writing about the past because of the rich historical detail that I'm drawn to when I research. The past has a way of making sense of what's happening in the modern world, allowing us to feel we're not alone in going through today.

As a content architect by day, I like to think I shine as a storyteller by night, when writing my historical mystery tales by moonlight or candlelight. Recently, as a community historian, I've written the first book in Arcadia Publishing's IMAGES OF AMERICA series about early Italian settlers in the Pacific Northwest. For more stories about Italians in the PNW, be sure to subscribe to my free Substack: tessafloreanowritings.

In other news, I am a dual Italian-Canadian citizen residing in Puget Sound with a husband and freeloading purrball as companions. Fan of pens + notebooks, strong tea, the Salish and Adriatic Seas, and all things Italian, PNW, & Canadian.

    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This book is so interesting. I am not Italian, but I have huge respect for any immigrant populations who have settled and found respect in a not vert forgiving country.
    This book is full of wonderful pictures and facts about the Pacific Northwest. It is so cool to read about places I've seen and never wondered about or where companies got their start. So fascinating to learn about the place where I live. It's esy to see that the author did a lot of research and is passionate about her Italian roots and the diaspora of Italians in the PNW. This should be available in every toursit shop from Idaho to Oregon.
