Title	This City of Ours
Identifier	spl_saw_161887
Description	Seattle Public Schools history textbook. The author, James Willis Sayre, "was a longtime resident of Seattle -- a journalist, arts promoter, and local historian whose work spanned more than five decades during the city's most explosive period of growth and development. Primarily known as a dramatic critic for, among other papers, the Daily Times and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Sayre was also heavily involved in the activities of the Seattle Symphony, and he organized promotional efforts for a number of Seattle's early motion picture houses...Between 1924 and 1936 he worked variously as an independent promoter of stage shows and films, authored a number of books, including several on aspects of early Seattle history, and developed a handful of motion picture scenarios and stage plays. (For many years his book This City of Ours was a standard history text in Seattle public schools.)" (Eric L. Flom, "Sayre, James Willis (1877-1963)."
