This book is based upon data secured by personal interviews and various other reliable sources of information concerning Woodland Idaho genealogy and history under the editorial supervision of Edna L. Egleston in 1944. The Woodland Hill Settlement was hewn out of the primeval forest, transformed into productive farms and comfortable homes. This progress and development of fifty-eight years surpasses the fondest dreams of the first settlers. The author, who was an early pioneer here, began searching for data in 1933. These interviews with living family members for over a decade helped Edna produce numerous genealogies of the families who lived in Woodland and the community around it known as the Woodland Hill Settlement.
It should be kept in mind that the early settlement of this community was made on Lapai Reservation for the Nez Perce Indians. It was thrown open by the government to white settlers, 8 November 1895. This reservation is located in Nez Perce, Lewis, Clearwater and Idaho counties in the state of Idaho.
