Sullishak History: How vacant land bought during World War II became Sullishak, a relaxing family retreat.

"Sullishak History" chronicles the creation of a family retreat on the Oregon coast, crafted by Wes Sullivan , a B-17 co-pilot and WWII veteran, and his family. What started as vacant land purchased during the war transformed into a beloved cabin that served as a multi-generational escape from the hustle and bustle of life. The story, as narrated by Wes Sullivan, is one of dedication, hard work, and family legacy. Wes, alongside his wife Elsie, built the cabin in 1947 , using salvaged materials from an army base, and spent countless weekends constructing and improving what would become Sullishak . This book details not only the construction but the memories made, from gathering for salmon bakes to the children's forts at the beach, giving readers a nostalgic journey through post-war America. As you read, you’ll follow the challenges of building a home from scratch and the difficulty of maintaining a family legacy across multiple generations.
