| Why it’s on the list | A Seattle business journalist’s ground-level account of the 1893 depression as it hit a four-year-old Washington State — failed banks, closed sawmills, towns issuing their own money, protesters riding freight trains to D.C. Built from old newspapers, lawsuits and personal papers, it gives the texture that national financial history leaves out. |
