The American Civil War

(dating from 1861 to 1865)

wasnt just about four years of

battle. The before and after also

shaped our nation.

Please join us on Saturday,

November 10, when LorraineMcConahy, public historian

from the Museum of History

and Industry, returns to further

explore that legacy. She last

shared her Civil War knowledge

with us in January 2011.

Lorraine has deepened her

study of the period now that she

is curating the upcoming Civil

War exhibition for Washington

State Historical Society.

Shell also speak about

the statewide Civil War Read-

In, and extend an invitation

to join with hundreds of other

Washingtonians to research our

territorys hidden Civil War.

William White fought for the Union in the Ohio

Volunteer Infantry. He later practiced law in his

hometown of Wellsburg, West Virginia, but then leftfor Washington State in 1871. In 1885, President

Grover Cleveland named him a State Supreme

Court Justice. He settled in Redmond, married

Emma McRedmond, and they built the Redmond

Hotel in 1889. Now known as the Justice White

House, it still stands on Leary and NE 76th Street.

celebraTiNG lois PhilliPs huDsoN

The late Redmond resident,University of Washington professor

and noted authorLois Phillips

Hudson has been honored as the

first writer celebrated by a nationwide

effort to preserve and promote

Americas rich history of rural

literature.The Rural Lit RALLY

organiers have set up a website at

loisphillipshudson.or/wordpress/

that focuses on Lois work and where

fans can discuss her legacy.

The initiative also contacted the Redmond Historical Society for

information about Lois, author ofTh Bns Pnty, and that led to an

exhibit this December at the Redmond Library and one or two other local

sites yet to be determined.

We hope these exhibits will bring attention to Dr. Hudsons work,

says Cynthia Anthony, a Rural Lit RALLY volunteer and special

assstant to the dean of educaton at Buffalo State College. Folks are

also invited to share their thoughts on her literary accomplishments, her

environmental activism, and/or any personal memories that they may

have of Lois Phillips Hudson on the website, Anthony says.

The group was unable to interview Lois before she passed away

in 2011, Anthony adds, but we were able to establish an excellent

relationship with Lois daughter Lucy, which led to Rural Lit RALLY being

selected to receive Dr. Hudsons papers.

ruralliT rallyThe idea for the initiative came from Paul Theobald (then dean of

educaton at Buffalo State College) and frends n a farmhouse n Oho!

Theobald actually met Lois and they had periodic chats. Lean more about

the initiative is online at rurallitrally.or.
