Roesiger history book goes digital
“On the Trail of Richard Roesiger: A Pioneer’s Life in the Pacific Northwest” is now available as an electronic book. The book dives into local history based on journals kept by Roesiger, a German immigrant, as he homesteaded and helped develop the community around his namesake lake. It was researched and written by his great niece, Monika Teuscher-Schramm, of Switzerland. An English version was published with help from the Granite Falls Historical Society. The e-book price is $9.
