The Rail to the Water tells the true story of Ira Ward Jr. and the working dawn of Tumwater, Washington.

When three generations of a family gather at Tumwater Falls in search of an ancestor, family legend says Ira Ward Jr. founded the town. The truth is richer. Vermont-born, gold-rush tested, and driven west by loss and opportunity, Ira built a life that became inseparable from the future of Puget Sound.

He helped shape the early territory through the mill at the Upper Falls, a rail line to tidewater, public service, Freemasonry, and a lifetime of work that connected family history to regional history.

Grounded in family records, newspapers, cemetery stones, lodge minutes, and the history of New Market, George Bush, and the Steh-Chass people whose falls came first, this is a story of ambition, memory, and the people who helped carry Tumwater forward.

Bernie O'Donnell is a third-great-grandson of Ira Ward Jr. He wrote this book after visiting Tumwater with his mother and daughter.
