Costco to Host Book Signing for Legendary Locals of Camas and Washougal Author

VANCOUVER, Wash. - Feb. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Legendary Locals of Camas and Washougal shares the stories of unique individuals and groups, past and present, who have had a lasting impact on the community throughout its history.

Vintage images coupled with facts and anecdotes collected by local author Rene’ Johnston Carroll reveal the fascinating history of legendary locals in Camas and Washougal. “I hope this book provides tribute to the amazing people that shaped these communities,” said Carroll.

The book covers both town greats and unsung heroes like Dr. Louisa Wright, the town’s first female doctor who went to extraordinary lengths to treat patients; and Denis Hayes, a Camas High School graduate who is credited as one of the major architects of the American environmental movement.
