This is the first complete historical account of Chief Seattle and his times--the story of a half century of tremendous flux, turmoil, and violence during which a Native American war leader became an advocate for peace and strove to create a successful multi-racial community.
Historian David M. Buerge has threaded together disparate accounts of the time from the 1780s to the 1860s--including native oral histories, Hudson's Bay Company Records, pioneer diaries, and historic newspaper reporting. The resulting work is a compelling, comprehensive biography of a seminal figure in our collective history, as well as a meticulous recounting of the events and actions that shaped Seattle.Book Details
