Description
Pauline Pasquan talks about her Yugoslavian roots and her family's arrival in Roslyn, Washington. She speaks about her husband, Frank Pasquan, and his work in the Northwestern Improvement Company mines. She describes Yugoslavian recipes, home brewing, dances, and songs. She speaks about the working conditions in the mines and the Western Miners Union.
The cover image shows Roslyn, circa 1940. By the 1930s Roslyn's business district (left) was providing services for few people as coal mining operations decreased. Located above Roslyn, the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church (center) was built in 1887. Cle Elum Ridge is visible in the background, north of Roslyn.
