Soon orders followed to abandon everything that was not easily portable and return to the United States. Wires, strung and unstrung, were left behind. The same was true of most of the tools, foodstuffs, and general supplies; only enough of these were brought away to last the parties to the outposts of civilization. The whole matter was freely commented upon in the public press at the time and the loss to the Western Union Telegraph Company was reported more than a million dollars. A second chapter was written a few years later, before the "boom" that preceded the construction of the Pacific Division of the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1871-2-3 had culminated. Under date of San Francisco, November 18, 1869, George H. Mumford, general superintendent of the Pacific Coast branch, telegraphed to Capt. D. R. Finch, the leading steamboat operator on Puget Sound as follows: "Our line from Portland to Victoria and beyond has long been only a constant source of expense. The deficit this year is very large owing to fires. It was very large last year, owing to troubles with the cables. We see no prospect of its paying expenses for a good while, and I have nearly made up my mind to abandon it altogether after the 1st of January. Are the people between Victoria and Portland enough interested in the matter to give any aid towards paying expenses? Unless something of this kind is done telegraphic communication will soon be discontinued north of Portland." The Victoria Colonist, the Intelligencer, and most of the papers on the Sound discussed the matter very sensibly and admitted the justice of the proposition. It is my recollection that the business men of Seattle and other places on the Sound, especially...

Download or read book David S and Catherine T Maynard Seattle Pioneers written by Thomas W. Prosch and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 1906-01-01 with total page 76 pages. 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 Emerald City written by Matthew W. Klingle and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "At the foot of the snow-capped Cascade Mountains on the forested shores of Puget Sound, Seattle is set in a location of spectacular natural beauty, Boosters of the city have long capitalized on this splendor, recently likening it to the fairytale capital of L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz, the Emerald City. But just as Dorothy, Toto, and their traveling companions discover a darker reality upon entering the green gates of the imaginary Emerald City. those who look more closely at Seattle's landscape will find that it reveals a history marked by environmental degradation and urban inequality. This book explores the role of nature in the development of the city of Seattle from the earliest days of its settlement to the present. Combining environmental history, urban history, and human geography, Matthew Klingle shows how attempts to reshape nature in and around Seattle have often ended not only in ecological disaster but also in social inequality. The price of Seattle's centuries of growth and progress has been high. Its wildlife, especially the famous Pacific salmon, and its poorest residents have paid the highest price. Klingle proposes a bold new way of understanding the interdependence between nature and culture, and he argues for what he calls an 'ethic of place.' Using Seattle as a compelling case study, he offers important insights for every city seeking to live in harmony with its natural landscape"--Provided by publisher.

Excerpt: ... f I DEGREESHE missionaries on the upper Columbia--at I Waiilatpu, Lapwai and Tshimakain--had taken B no part in forming the provisional government. Their situation was too remote, and their members too few. Since Whitman's return with the emigrants of 1843, their affairs had been going much as before. Sometimes their work seemed to prosper, and they took new courage and hope; again there would be reverses, and they would seem to lose more than they had gained. During the years 1845-6 and '47, their letters to the general secretary were particularly discouraging. Spalding had contrived to get a printing press and some type from the Hawaiian Islands in 1839, an( DEGREES, w'tri tne ne'P of Edwin O. Hall, a printer from the mission at Honolulu, did the first printing ever done in Oregon or on the coast. Several elementary books for use in the mission schools were printed, some of them in the Nez Perce and Flathead languages, and some in both the English and Indian languages. A small collection of hymns and, finally, part or all of the Gospels were translated and printed. The printing press has always been a most helpful civilizing agent, and this particular one probably did as much in its way as any that has ever been made. The Nez Perces and their immediate neighbors were, for a time at least, more tractable than the Cayuses or Spokanes, or any of the tribes near the other missionary stations. Perhaps the work done by Spalding and his estimable wife and their associates was better calculated to impress their savage pupils. However this may be, the testimony of Wilkes, Dr. White and others is to the effect that more genuine progress was made by the Indians at this station than at any other. Eells and Walker and their wives were patient,

Download or read book Explorers of the Maritime Pacific Northwest written by William L. Lang Ph.D. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-05-09 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering the adventures of coastal and ocean explorers who made key discoveries and landmark observations from northern California up the coastline to Alaska during the mid-1700s to the early 1800s, this anthology of primary source journal entries, book excerpts, maps, and drawings enables readers to "discover" the Northwest Coast for themselves. More than 200 years ago, explorers traveled from Central America, Russia, and even Europe to explore the coastline of the American Pacific Northwest, with goals of developing new trade routes, claiming territory for their home countries, expanding their fur trade, or exploring in the name of scientific discovery. This book will take readers to the decks of the great ships and along for the adventures of legendary explorers, such as James Cook, Alejandro Malaspina, and George Vancouver. This book collects primary source materials such as journal entries, book excerpts, maps, and drawings that document how explorers first experienced the unknown Pacific Northwest coast, as seen through the eyes of non-native people. Readers will learn how explorers such as Vitus Bering and Robert Gray used the full extent of their powers of observation to record the landscape, animals, and plants they witnessed as well as their interactions with indigenous peoples during their search for the mythic Northwest Passage. The book also explains how the maritime explorers of this period mapped the remote regions of the Northwest Coast, working without the benefit of modern technology and relying instead on their knowledge of a range of sciences, mathematics, and seamanship—in addition to their ability to endure harsh and dangerous conditions—to produce exceptionally detailed maps.
