Pioneer Reminiscences of Puget Sound

"Pioneer Reminiscences of Puget Sound" offers a firsthand account of the early American settlement and development of the Puget Sound region. Ezra Meeker chronicles the arrival of the first American settlers, the establishment of their institutions, and their initial interactions with the native populations. A significant portion of the narrative is devoted to the "Tragedy of Leschi," detailing the treaties made with the indigenous peoples and the ensuing war. Meeker provides a historical perspective on the conflicts and challenges faced by both the pioneers and the Native Americans during this transformative period. This volume serves as a valuable resource for understanding the complex history of the Pacific Northwest and the enduring legacy of its early inhabitants.
