Emily Inez Denny, born into one of Seattle’s founding families, gathers the stories of the pioneers who crossed the plains, came down the Columbia in 1851 and landed at Alki Point. She tells of the founding of Seattle, the Indian war, a killing, cougar hunts and the life of pioneer children, mixing memoir, family tradition, songs and sketches of the Puget Sound country.
A heartfelt settler’s history of the Northwest, its view of the Native peoples shaped by pioneer loyalties. Download the free EPUB.
