“San Juan Island” is coming!

The former “Home Prairie” of the Hudson’s Bay Company, todays American Camp is shown in this 1890’s photo. Two hands gather cut grain which is then bundled in preparation for threshing. Mount Finlayson rises in the background with the Jakle homestead on its lower slope.
Kevin at the Museum says the books are coming – this has been one of the island’s most anticipated books, ever since Mike & Julia’s Friday Harbor book came out last year (which was incredible!)…here’s more from Kevin:
The San Juan Historical Museum hosts authors Mike and Julia Vouri, Tuesday, November 9, at 7 p.m. for a presentation of the new book Images of America – San Juan Island. The museum’s newest publication is part of the Images of America series by Arcadia Publishing. A presentation and narrative of the photos used in the book will be discussed with a book signing to follow. “San Juan Island” is the second book collaboration between the Historical Museum and Mike and Julia Vouri, and follows the successful “Friday Harbor” book from 2009.
The new book will be available for purchase from the Historical Museum beginning Wednesday, November 3. Proceeds from books purchased at the Historical Museum benefit ongoing preservation efforts. Please contact the museum for further information at 360.378.3949 or www.sjmuseum.org
