Old Timer's History of Chelan County Resources
A Tourist club talk outlines Chelan county's geography from the Columbia border to the Cascades, its lakes Wenatchee and Chelan, scenic Horseshoe Basin, and climate. It notes early missions, settlement, rail expansion, county formation in 1899, key figures, and the Wenatchee Development Co donation for a courthouse. It surveys water power, minerals, and agriculture as enduring wealth.
