520			_a"A Report on Washington Territory" by William Henry Ruffner is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work provides an in-depth exploration of the resources, geography, and commercial conditions of Washington Territory, specifically focusing on its development and potential following the establishment of the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway. The book is likely of interest to those keen on the economic and environmental aspects of the Pacific Northwest during a time of rapid growth and exploration. The beginning of the report sets the stage for Ruffner's extensive travels through Washington Territory in 1887. He introduces his itinerary, detailing the locations he visited, including Seattle and various regions within the territory. Through his observations, he meticulously describes the landscape, climate, and natural resources found along the routes he took, as well as the activities of the people he encountered. The narratives of his visits to places like Snoqualmie Pass and the Guye Mines highlight the potential for industry in the region, particularly focusing on coal and iron interests, thereby framing the report as a vital resource for understanding the economic prospects of Washington at the time.
