Pioneer Reminiscences Of Puget Sound

""Pioneer Reminiscences of Puget Sound: The Tragedy of Leschi"" is a historical account written by Ezra Meeker, an American pioneer who settled in the Puget Sound region of Washington state in the mid-19th century. The book recounts Meeker's personal experiences as a pioneer in the region, as well as the tragic story of Chief Leschi, a prominent leader of the Nisqually tribe who was falsely accused of murder and executed in 1858. Meeker provides a detailed and vivid description of life in the Puget Sound region during the early years of settlement, including the challenges and hardships faced by pioneers as they struggled to establish a new community in a rugged and often hostile environment. The book also explores the complex and often fraught relationship between the Native American tribes of the region and the white settlers who gradually displaced them. Through his personal experiences and reflections, Meeker offers a unique and valuable perspective on the history of the Puget Sound region and the broader story of westward expansion in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
