Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's likely that few of the thousands who visit beautiful Alki Beach in West Seattle on a sunny day realize that this is where the city of Seattle began. They're even less likely to know the name of David Maynard, although they may recognize his friendly moniker, "Doc Maynard." Dr. David Maynard is an essential figure in northwest and particularly Seattle history. In 1850, at the age of 42 a financially ruined man, he made the long journey from Ohio to California to restore his fortunes. He kept a journal along the way, which is included in this volume. The journey eventually took him much farther north to what is now Seattle, Washington. His experiences among the Native Americans of the area, the pioneer settlers, and his influence in the growing town, and his work as a doctor make this a great pioneer story. The records of the costs of various goods and real estate make it a valuable historical document. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Download or read book Chief Seattle and the Town That Took His Name written by David M. Buerge and published by Sasquatch Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first thorough historical account of the great Washington State city and its hero, Chief Seattle—the Native American war leader who advocated for peace and strove to create a successful hybrid racial community. When the British, Spanish, and then Americans arrived in the Pacific Northwest, it may have appeared to them as an untamed wilderness. In fact, it was a fully settled and populated land. Chief Seattle was a powerful representative from this very ancient world. Here, historian David Buerge threads together disparate accounts of the time from the 1780s to the 1860s—including native oral histories, Hudson Bay Company records, pioneer diaries, French Catholic church records, and historic newspaper reporting. Chief Seattle had gained power and prominence on Puget Sound as a war leader, but the arrival of American settlers caused him to reconsider his actions. He came to embrace white settlement and, following traditional native practice, encouraged intermarriage between native people and the settlers—offering his own daughter and granddaughters as brides—in the hopes that both peoples would prosper. Included in this account are the treaty signings that would remove the natives from their historic lands, the roles of such figures as Governor Isaac Stevens, Chiefs Leschi and Patkanim, the Battle at Seattle that threatened the existence of the settlement, and the controversial Chief Seattle speech that haunts to this day the city that bears his name.

Download or read book Women and Men on the Overland Trail written by John Mack Faragher and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic book offers a lively and penetrating analysis of what the overland journey was really like for midwestern farm families in the mid-1800s. Through the subtle use of contemporary diaries, memoirs, and even folk songs, John Mack Faragher dispels the common stereotypes of male and female roles and reveals the dynamic of pioneer family relationships. This edition includes a new preface in which Faragher looks back on the social context in which he formulated his original thesis and provides a new supplemental bibliography. Praise for the earlier edition: "Faragher has made excellent use of the Overland Trail materials, using them to illuminate the society the emigrants left as well as the one they constructed en route. His study should be important to a wide range of readers, especially those interested in family history, migration and western history, and women's history."--Kathryn Kish Sklar "An enlightening study."--American West "A helpful study which not only illuminates the daily life of rural Americans but which also begins to compensate for the male orientation of so much of western history."--Journal of Social History
