JOHN W. LUNDIN’S OTHER PUBLICATIONS & PRESENTATIONS
At The Community Library In Ketchum, Idaho via Slideshare.
John has written an unpublished book, History of Ski Jumping in Washington, the Influence of Norwegians on Northwest Skiing, and he has given several Power Point presentations on the topic in Seattle.
John and his brother Steve have written an unpublished book about their grandfather using original sources obtained from him, From Cheechako to Sourdough, Mark Odell’s Adventures in the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. The book includes over 100 pictures taken by his party using one of the first Kodak cameras available to the public. Although five professional photographers went to the gold rush and took high quality pictures, there are few if any pictures taken by the prospectors showing their daily life.
John helped to start the Washington State Ski and Snowboard Museum that opened in October 2015, on Snoqualmie Pass, and has done extensive research into the ski history of Washington State. He published 17 Essays on HistoryLink.org, the on-line encyclopedia of Washington History, on the state’s ski history, Washington’s general history, and his family’s history. A number of his longer papers on Washington ski history appear on the Central Washington University Website Section for Local Authors. Their web addresses appear elsewhere.
