Newspaper Supplement Publishes Excerpt from Goffinet Book
The Golden Times, a supplement of the Lewiston Tribune in Lewiston, Idaho, in June published most of a chapter of Esther Goffinet’s book, “Ripples of a Lie.”
Goffinet is a Lewiston resident, but previously resided in Centralia.
The article included five pictures from the book, including a large photo of the Monarch mine at Kopiah in 1919.
Goffinet’s book gives her views on the 1919 clash in Centralia between a labor group known as the Wobblies and American Legion troops.
Goffinet’s father, Eugene Barnett, was a member of the labor union.
The Lewis County Historical Museum in Chehalis has the book available for sale.
