NOVEMBER MONTHLY MEETING: <\/strong>Tuesday, November 13th, 2012<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We are pleased to welcome Kurt Stream who is new to the Guild and whose book on the history of brewing was released this week.\u00a0 The Guild is just a couple days behind KOMO News Radio<\/a> on getting the story out.\u00a0 Kurt is our November speaker. Here is a brief description of the book from Arcadia Publishing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brewing beer in Seattle can be traced back to 1864, when in the unincorporated (i.e. makes no laws) town of under 1,000 people the first brewery opened and began manufacturing porter and cream ales. Over the next 50 years, innovation and entrepreneurship would take Seattle brewed beer to foamy heights. By the eve of Prohibition, lifted by its popular Rainier Beer, Seattle Brewing and Malting Company became the largest industrial institution in the state of Washington and the sixth-largest brewery in the world.\u00a0 Who would have guessed.\u00a0 Prohibition, however, would wipe out the industry in 1916, but with the coming of Repeal in 1933, new faces such as Emil Sick would emerge and bring Seattle back to the forefront.\u00a0 Images of America: Brewing in Seattle<\/em>,\u00a0 is the first book completely dedicated to the rich history of yeast\u2019s contribution to Seattle and showcases just about every single brewery of this great city, from the mid-1800s to the recent craft-brewery boom.\u00a0 It offers an inside view with 200 photographs, advertisements, and interviews from some of the innovators who helped shape Seattle into the beer lovers paradise it is today.<\/p>\n

Our meeting will be at Seattle\u2019s Central Library, 4th Level in Room 1 at 6pm.\u00a0 There is pay parking within the building off of Spring Street.\u00a0 For location details go to the Seattle Public Library website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You will be able to purchase copies at our program.\u00a0 Secret Garden Books will once again be selling books.\u00a0 For a small taste beforehand please visit Amazon.com<\/a> or this story from KOMO News Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Membership Renewal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Every year some lesser gods put together a banquet, a conference with dozens of speakers on a special theme, and monthly programs with selected speakers on what is new, interesting, in-the-works research or special methods of presentation.\u00a0 These events bridge the divides between academics and amateurs, historians and the historically interested, and between individuals and the public.\u00a0 But being lesser gods they forgot to provide funding for these activities and consequently every year we ask those who receive the benefits to become members.<\/p>\n

Our calendar looking forward includes:<\/p>\n

New PNW Historians Website<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We have now left the digital frontier behind with our improved website.\u00a0 It is graphic, interactive and attractive for which we must thank Casey McNerthney, who joined the Guild recently and is presently a Board member.\u00a0 To visit the reborn site go to pnwhistorians.org<\/a>.\u00a0 Almost anything you want to know as a member or prospective member can be found there; upcoming events, who is on the board today and maybe, because you are so forgetful now, what years you were the president. We proudly note that this attractive website is our best and up to date.<\/p>\n

Publications<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We forget with ease the world of the earliest settlers, the French Canadians, who established families and homes with the Indians of the Northwest only to be overrun by English speaking pioneers who followed them west.\u00a0 Member Robert Foxcurran has not and in the fall issue of Columbia Magazine <\/em>has an article on what became of the Metis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
