Stories surrounding the lure of gold and adventures in finding it comprise an important chapter from the annals of early Washington State history. A few remaining old-timers still gather around tables in small town coffee shops to reminisce about the good old days or the time granddad came west to discover gold and a better way of life. Only a generation removed, these gentlemen talk with familiarity about nineteenth century gold strikes at places such as Liberty and Blewett, Rich Bar on the Similkameen, and Ruby Creek in the North Cascades. Through infinite labor and privations, the tide of hardy adventurers reached the promised land. The tide of emigration spread all over the mountain ranges and valleys of the West and in 40 years produced more than $2,000,000,000 in gold and silver, actual money, created and added to our country's resources. It enabled our people to settle a vast country. These grand and beneficent results of precious metal mining stand without parallel in human history.

In 1995, the authors published, "Gold Mining in Washington State - Yesterday and Today" and found massive amount of research material, including the handwritten memoirs of Charles Ballard, left over. This material and new research provide this blended biography of Washington State pioneers - the towns they founded, the gold they mined, and history they created.Besides the Charles Ballard memoirs, the authors concentrated on primary sources of information. They chose eyewitness accounts, news reports, early journals and valuable family testimonials. The authors have filled the book with maps, historical photos, many Ballard family portraits, and general graphics of life in Washington state at the turn of the century.Following the Ballard family who moved west from Ohio in the early late 1850's. The Ballards, father and sons, were early settlers of Auburn and Ballard. They were bank owners and steamboat captains, they were educators and goldminers, they were lawyers and surveyors, and most of all they liked gold.The book is filled with short biographies and town histories. It is well indexed and has an extensive bibliography.

CMake is the premier cross-platform build system for complex software systems. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. CMake is both sophisticated and easy to use: it is possible to support complex environments requiring system configuration, compiler feature detection, pre-processor generation, code generation, and template instantiation using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake supports testing and is integrated with the DART regression testing system.

Mastering CMake: A Cross-Platform Build System

CMake is an extensible, open-source system that manages the build process in an operating system and compiler independent manner. Unlike many cross-platform systems, CMake is designed to be used in conjunction with the native build environment. CMake can compile source code, create libraries, generate wrappers, and build executables in arbitrary combinations. CMake supports in-source and out-of-source builds, and can therefore support multiple builds from a single source tree. CMake provides extensive support for building static and dynamic libraries. This book contains instructions on how to download, install, and run CMake on many platforms including Linux (UNIX), Microsoft Windows, and Mac OSX. The internals of how CMake works and how it impacts your build scripts is covered. Instructions are provided for running the different GUIs including command line options and a separate chapter on using ctest (included with CMake) to perform software testing. A full reference of CMake's commands and variables with descriptions is included.

THIS BOOK CONTAINS ALL YOU NEED TO INSTALL AND USE CMAKE This book contains instructions on how to download, install, and run CMake on many platforms including Linux (UNIX), Microsoft Windows, and Mac OSX.

Instructions are provided for running the different GUIs including command line options and a separate chapter on using ctest (included with CMake) to perform software testing. A full reference of CMake's commands and variables with descriptions is included. USE CMAKE'S SIMPLE SYNTAX TO CREATE POWERFUL BUILD SCRIPTS Using CMake is simple. The build process is controlled by creating one or more CMakeLists.txt files in each directory (including subdirectories) that make up a project. Each CMakeLists.txt consists of one or more commands with the form COMMAND (args...) where COMMAND is the name of the command, and args is a white-space separated list of arguments. CMake includes commands for finding libraries and header files, support for optional components of your software, testing the compiler and platform for specific features, and much more. CMake provides many powerful pre-defined commands, but if you need to, you can even add your own commands using CMake's macro capabilities.
