Well after the first wave of pioneers settles the Northwest in the mid-1800s, the Olympic Mountains remained remote and mysterious. It wasn't until 1889 that The Press, Seattle's newspaper, sponsored an expedition?during the worst winter on record?from the first crossing of these rugged peaks. The Land That Slept Late examines that heroic effort and those that followed, most notably the in-depth explorations of Lt. Joseph P. O'Neil in 1890.
