Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early History of Thurston County, Washington: Together With Biographies and Reminiscences of Those Identified With Pioneer Days Edmund Sylvester, who by the death of his partner, had become sole owner of the claim they had located at the head of Budd's Inlet, in 1850, laid off the claim as a town site and named it Olympia. The name suggests the idea that even in this remote region with rude environments, there were those conversant with the classics. The name was bestowed by Charles H. Smith, who together with Mr. Simmons, had that year established a store in the new settlement, at the corner of Main and Second Streets. The name was doubtless sug gested by the beautiful views spread out before them at the head of the Sound, where to the North the Olympic Range was visible and to the East old Rainier reared his majestic head.

Book excerpt: A collection to formally acquaint the reader with the person and legacy of William McLane, early pioneer in Thurston County, Washington Territory and State from 1852 to 1906. McLane homesteaded in what is now known as the McLane area west of the city of Olympia, Washington and in addition to farming contributed to the development of the area, also serving in the Washington Territorial Assembly and as a liaison with the Native American population. Included are historical resources, historic documents (copies) and family history/genealogy. The collection provides researchers with the compiler's research into the life and times of her great grandfather William McLane, a pioneer of Thurston County, Washington near the city of Olympia, Washington. The documentation accumulated includes materials on the origins of the McLane family (from Scotland); their stay in Butler County, Pennsylvania where the subject of this collection was born and lived the first 30 years of his life; his subsequent journey to the Pacific Northwest and time spent creating a homestead through the Donation Claim Act for Washington Territory; McLane's political activity and legal matters. Also included is information on the families genealogy, and information on the many philanthropic and other projects undertaken by the subject as well as the resultant heritage derived from the activities of this pioneer.

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.
