"Lyman's History of Old Walla Walla County, Vol. 2" by William Denison Lyman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on the biographies of prominent figures in the development of Walla Walla and its surrounding counties, detailing their contributions to the area's growth and prosperity. The text aims to capture the essence of the early settlers and pioneers who shaped the region, highlighting their achievements in various professions and industries. The opening of the text introduces several influential individuals, starting with Dr. N. G. Blalock, a physician who not only provided medical care but also significantly contributed to the economic and infrastructural development of Walla Walla. His narrative includes his background, professional undertakings, and pioneering spirit, such as introducing irrigation practices and developing orchards. Following him, the text encompasses biographical sketches of other notable figures, including Dr. Dorsey S. Baker and Judge Benjamin L. Sharpstein, emphasizing their roles in medicine, commerce, and law while also noting the challenges they faced as pioneers in a largely undeveloped area. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
