• There is an article, "Canoes from Cedar Logs: A Study of Early Types and Designs" in an issue of the Pacific Northwest Quarterly (April 1955:33-39) by George Durham. The bio on the author is that he "is a librarian of Clallam County Library, Port Angeles, Washington". Was this gentleman also known as Bill Durham who wrote Canoes and Kayaks of Western American (1960)? Thanks for you help and any further biographical info about Mr. Durham(s).

• Hi Alan:
  No luck so far in determining whether George & Bill were one and the same. The only information we fund about George was in a 1954 Polk City Directory. George W. Durham is listed as a librarian with the county library. He does not appear in the 1956 directory nor do we have an obituary for him.
  Have you tried getting in touch with the Washington State Historical Society or the Museum of History and Industry?
