Edith Sanderson Redfield chronicles life in Seattle during the last part of the nineteenth century as only some-one who has lived it could. Images are vivid and evocative as she describes what we can only imagine the foresight and fortitude of the founding fathers; the skirmishes with the local Indians: the inevitable frontier justice; the devastation of The Great Fire; and the sometimes terrible toll of life at sea. Yet, through it all, the people of Seattle pursue their destiny with determination, carving out for themselves a magnificent city set amongst unparalleled natural beauty.
