Anderson Island in Puget Sound exists as a kind of tiny, autonomous world. Sharply defined by bitterly cold water.

Anderson Island in Puget Sound exists as a kind of tiny, autonomous world. Author Hazel Heckman & her husband moved to the tiny island in the early 1950s, gradually becoming part of the island community, which was still very much self-sufficient. In these pages she recounts both the history of the island & its families, as well as providing a fascinating natural history of both the flora & fauna, and the then-current inhabitants. She writes in an easy, comfortable style, seasoned with wry wit, which often turns into lyrical description.

To the northwest, Key Peninsula lies across Drayton Passage. The south basin of Puget Sound separates the island from the mainland to the southeast, while to the southwest the Nisqually Reach of Puget Sound separates the island from the mainland.

University of Washington Press. Anderson Island in Puget Sound exists as a kind of tiny, autonomous world. Sharply defined by bitterly cold water, deep enough to float a destroyer; by dense fog; and by dangerous tide rips caused by the narrow channels, it is a community without an officer of the law, a minister of the gospel, or a doctor of medicine. Nevertheless, it is a tightly knit and well-organized microcosm in its wilderness environment. Hailed as a ‘local classic’ by Murray Morgan and Wallace Stegner, Hazel Heckman’s story of this Northwest island.

It's a taste of Northwest History along with charming stories of Islanders present and past. A must read for anyone who enjoys natural history and has a yearning to experience life on an Island.

In her first book, Island in the Sound, Heckman brought to life Anderson Island in Puget Sound, its people, its history, and its sadly vanishing way of life. Now, in this book, she brings the same clarity of vision, warmth, and insight to the natural life of her island, recording the cycle of the seasons as an appreciative and articulate observer. Heckman�s gift to the reader, as in all of the best nature writing, is to let us see it through her eyes, as if never seen before. But the developers have arrived, and the natural world of the Island is as threatened as the way of life of its people.

Some of the books wound up for sale at Caliban Book Shop, a warren-like used and rare book store with a cobalt blue exterior that is less than a 10 minute walk from the ornate Carnegie Library in the Oakland neighborhood, Pittsburgh’s academic center. Others traveled much farther. Such is the case of a 400-year-old Geneva Bible, which federal authorities tracked down in the Netherlands.
