<p>Phyllis Wallace Lewis is a former slave writing to her children in the year 1867. Down the River describes her hard life on the Kentucky frontier. Phyllis grows up an orphan with blue eyes and fair skin and she is never truly embraced by the tiny slave community of the Morgan farm. The manipulative Morgan arrives one hot day with a mate for her ? the love of her life ? and uses her as an agent of his own ambitions. When Morgan's plans for her do not go as planned, her husband is sold away. Then she is held for the Morgan' murder. She escapes the lynch mob, but not before her two young children and the rest of her community is loaded onto boats for Mississippi. Phyllis searches for her children and learns that they have been taken to Indian country by her mentor Esther. But Phyllis must leave Kentucky as a price of her freedom.</p>

<p>In many ways, Puget Sound looks today as it did in the eighteenth century, when its first explorers probed into the bays and inlets. The Olympics flank the west and the Cascades rise to the east with Mount Rainier looming to the south. The deep, cold water still laps against the shore, but many of the beaches have yielded to homes and industries. Instead of the dense forests, great cities, homes to millions, stretch far back from the shore. Hundreds of salmon swim up the Sound into rivers that once saw fish in the tens of millions. Beginning a decade or two after the first American settlements, photographers captured scenes of Puget Sound’s people, ships, and communities, kept alive in archives and history books. Teeming with other photographs up to the 1970s, these striking black-and-white images in Historic Photos of Puget Sound explore life of this unique Washington region for its residents, visitors, and admirers to enjoy even now. </p>
