Download or read book History of Seattle Volume 1 written by Clarence B. Bagley and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2017 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The preparation of a "History of Seattle" has been the exploration of a new field and the amount of patient research and careful investigation involved has been a task of colossal proportions. The printed and written records of the first twenty years of Seattle's existence are scanty almost beyond belief. Not until 1863 was a newspaper established there and, for many years, more space in it was devoted to eastern and foreign politics than to the record of local passing events. Few, if any, pioneers kept diaries and none of these, except that of the writer, has been accessible. And yet has this work become one of the most detailed and accurate narratives of the history of this beautiful town on the West coast. A must read - and not only for Seattle citizens. This is volume two out of two.

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.

Fish fly, buskers sing, and ghosts haunt the Arcades. Market Ghost Stories is a collection of oral ghost stories in the Pike Place Market, Seattle, Washington. It is a narrative book written by tour guide, Mercedes Yaeger, who has grown up in the Pike Place Market. She owns a night time tour company that explores that ghost stories of the community and the eccentric history of the city. Market Ghost Stories includes stories of those people who lived on the land before 1907, when the Pike Place Market opened, such as Princess Angeline; daughter of Chief Seattle.

Michael Yaeger, the Market's honorary Mayor of the Market and father to the author writes: "Mercedes has anchored her stories in the history, legends and lore of this grand and colorful city and its native people in a truly interesting, compassionate and entertaining way."
