Scope and content
William P. Bonney, left, Northwest pioneer and officer of the Washington State Historical Society, poses with William Woolery of Sumner, the first white child born at Steilacoom. Woolery is also one of the few surviving members of the first immigrant party to bring a wagon train across the Cascade Mountains. The train crossed at Naches Pass in 1853, completing their journey from Missouri to the Puget Sound. The photograph ran with an article discussing the proposed route of the "Immigrant Trail" road from Eastern to Western Washington. (T. Times 1/10/1935, pg. 6; T. Times 4/16/1935, pg. 14)
