Beskrivelse
Milltown Press has lovingly redesigned and modernized this classic 1909 work by Emily Inez Denny using the original work as a reference. Blazing the Way, an important work in the history of Washington state, is now available in print to those interested in learning about the beginnings of the City of Seattle and the early relationships between American pioneers and the Coast Salish Peoples who inhabited the Puget Sound Country before their arrival.
Emily Inez Denny (1853-1918) was the daughter of Seattle pioneers David Denny and Louisa Boren Denny. One of the first white children born on Puget Sound, Denny grew up hearing the stories of her parent's migration to the west over the Oregon Trail in a prairie schooner, their eventual landing at Alki Point, and the founding of the City of Seattle. Blazing the Way is an account of the experiences of the first settlers on Elliott Bay, their relations with Chief Sealth and other Natives of the region, and the challenges they faced in building what has become a world-class city.
