Over 60 individuals of the four dominant grasses were excavatedand examined. Three, Koeleria cristata, Poa sandhergii, and Festucaovina ingrata, are shallow-rooted, the bulk of the absorbing systemlying above the 18-inch level, while Agropyrum spicatum penetrates toa maximum depth of 4 feet 10 inches. Agropyrum spicatum.—This is the dominant bunchgrass in eastern Wash-ington. It has its best development westward of the high upland prairiesof extreme eastern Washington and along the rim-rock through the easternpart. The bunches are often 10 inches in diameter and reach a height of over3 feet. The plant blossoms in June and dries out in early July, only to takeon renewed growth after the autumn rains and to remain green all winter. This grass has coarser roots than any of the other three important nativegrasses. These coarse, fibrous roots have many short laterals. Some of the Text Appearing After Image: THE PRAIRIES OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. 33 roots reach a depth of 4 feet 10 inches, although on an average 4 feet 2 incheswas the greatest depth attained. Festuca ovina ingrata.—The blue bunchgrass ranks in importance withAgropyrum on the well-developed high prairies west of the foothills of theBitterroot Mountains between Spokane, Washington, and Lewiston, Idaho.Because of its abundance the very appropriate name Palouse (Fr. pelouse, aland clothed with a short, thick growth of herbage) was early applied to thisregion. The whole plant dries out considerably by the middle of July, but theautumn rains revive it and it is green throughout the rest of the year. Festuca ovina has a great mass of jet-black roots which occupy the soilthoroughly from the surface to a depth of about 18 inches, below which depthrelatively few roots extend. None of the roots are over 1 mm. in diameter.They branch profusely to the third order mostly, and the laterals are usuallyless than an inch in length.

History allows one to understand the present and semi-predict the future. Personal history is also important as it holds the key to many characteristics one exhibits. When we research the past generations, this is genealogy. Robin R. Foster helps the budding genealogist understand what it means and how to do genealogy. She has a wealth of experience, starting with her family research in 1985. Since then, she has learned how to research genealogy and has spent many hours helping and teaching others more refined skills in doing research. In My Best Genealogy Tips: Quick Keys to Research Ancestry, Robin shares how to begin and go deeper in researching your family. In addition, Robin shares her wisdom as a caring guide who wants to see the reader enjoy exploring and becoming familiar with their family history. In My Best Genealogy Tips: Quick Keys to Research Ancestry, Robin R. Foster warns of the pitfalls and potholes on the road to finding out where you came from. She encourages you to work through the supposedly dead ends and continue to where you have thoroughly researched and found all there is to know about your family. Robin emphasizes the importance of documentation. Too many family historians fail to document, and their work is soon forgotten. Robin also shares how to find documents when there seem to be no documents. I started learning about genealogy in the late 1950s and early 1960s under the tutelage of my paternal grandfather. He had already made the family tree back to the 1640s. Robin’s book would have been a terrific addition to his teaching. Today, researchers have the added advantage of online research. Read this book for encouragement and inspiration.
