This Land Around Us: A Treasury of Pacific Northwest Writing ed. Ellis Lucia (Doubleday, 1969, xxiv+981pp, hc, an)
This is a mixed bag of a hundred or more selections, mostly nonfiction excerpts, but with a significant minority of fiction (again mostly excerpts, but some complete short stories). Only the fiction is listed below (including a couple of borderline cases, such as “Return to the River,” told from the point of view of a pair of non-anthromorphized salmon).
