Note for Jo: I accidentally first uploaded a file that had the author's name mistakenly spelled as fairwether instead of fairweather. That fairwether file can be deleted. Sorry about that!

Many thanks, Elsie, for bringing volume 097 to a successful close with this additional chapter of railroad history!
I recognized several names from the Astoria article, who had now become railroad promoters in the Washington Territory. I was surprised to find General Hazard Stevens mentioned. He made the first successful climb of Mt. Rainier in 1870.

PL OK!

Jo, You've got "Read by Donald Cummings" instead of "LibriVox Volunteers" in the Production Details. All the selections play on the Librivox page and archive.org

Thanks for cataloging!

I also noticed that this collection is classified as a solo instead of collaborative when I search the LV catalog for my contributions.

FYI,

Sorry about that. I was cataloging two projects at once. The read by came about because the solo box was checked instead of collaborative, and I didn't catch it. I was cataloging two projects at once. It's corrected.
