Chief Seattle and the Town That Took His Name: The Change of Worlds for the Native People and Settlers on Puget Sound

By David M. Buerge

Book Overview

The Change of Worlds on Puget Sound, 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.
