For as long as Emily Wilson could remember, she had been entrusted with the stories, photographs and memories of her family.

Whether it was her curiosity or puzzle-solving skills, Wilson was unofficially designated by the family elders to keep those stories alive, and it was a task she felt compelled to execute.

With what started as a 1908 letter from a father to his daughter, Wilson of Seattle, Wash., has written a book about her family history that tells of their impact on the maritime culture of the U.S. Pacific Coast. But it also touches the history of Meeker County, too.
