      Welcome to dan-harris.info, a website based on intensive research into the life and passing of Daniel Jefferson Harris (1833-1890), the founder of Fairhaven, Washington, who early became known as "Dirty Dan." This site offers the complete texts of the first two booklets based on this research, Dan Harris Meets the Press, which was published in April 2007, and its yet-to-be-printed companion, Dan Harris Speaks for Himself. This site also presents a draft of the anticipated third booklet, Dan Harris Stakes His Claim, and findings from ongoing investigation into the various phases of Dan Harris's life. It features copies of original documents, one-of-a-kind maps, photographs and audio clips from interviews with Phillip M. Clark, who personally knew "Dirty Dan." The site also has links to several related web sites.

      Information posted on this website may be downloaded freely for personal use and research purposes, provided that any reproduction thereof includes the associated endnotes and/or credits. Autographed copies of the first booklet may be purchased directly from the author for $10.00 each, including sales tax, or by mail at $12.00 each, including sales tax and postage, by clicking on "Order Booklets." Copies are also available for $10.00 at "Dirty Dan" Harris Restaurant, Eclipse Bookstore, Village Books and The Bunch, all located in Fairhaven.
