Description: A WINDOW TO THE SEA is the second book by the author three years after her first book.  It is a history in photographs and stories with more of a focus on personal stories from people who lived in the area. It will take you to Old Astoria, and over the Columbia River to some of the logging camps on the tip of Washington. It covers some of the Immigrants who came to Astoria in the 1800’s branching out into the area and the Clatsop Indians.  This book is about those who shaped their lives in a corner of the world where the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean meet.  Over 300 photographs in black and white by various photographers over the last century, along with current photos in color by Angela Baumgartner and Lisa Johnston.
