"This work documents the history of Pacific American Fisheries, a salmon packing company based in Bellingham, Washington. From its beginnings when adventurer and promoter Roland Onffroy saw the opportunity to make a mint using the abundant supply of salmon in nearby Puget Sound, PAF for over 60 years caught and canned salmon in Puget Sound from Bellingham Bay to the Canadian border, and in Alaska from Southeast to Bristol Bay. The company's story is presented chronologically as unfolding local, regional, national and international events affected the fortunes of the company, its employees, and the town of Fairhaven that housed it. The book also takes a close look at the entrepreneurs, developers, managers, businessmen, and Asian labor force associated with the company. PAF's history is a part of America's experience with the West reflecting the intertwining of the American spirit with the natural bounty of the West."--BOOK JACKET.
