From back cover:
Tales from a mountain mining town in the Cascades, Roslyn, Washington c. 1900-1940
Jerry Morris, Roslyn, Washington's barber, was born and raised in this fascinating and diverse coal mining town. Its inhabitants' colorful memories motivated him to save many of the stories that friends and family had told him at home and in his shop. Jerry has an ear for tall stories and folklore, just like the barber he plays in the television series "Northern Exposure," which is also filmed in Roslyn -- often in Jerry's barbershop. In this book, Jerry has faithfully recorded the tales residents tell about their unique town...before the last storyteller is gone.
