The Indian Attack on Seattle January 26, 1856; As Described by the Eye Witness Lieut. Thomas Stowell Phelps Who "Took a Prominent Part in the Sanguinary Battle of Seattle" - INSCRIBED Copy

Descripción:

8vo. Pp. 57. Illustrated with three black-and-white illustrations: one a bust of Phelps, another a line drawing of Seattle as seen from Elliott Bay, and the third is the first known map of Seattle. Stiff printed wrappers with a woodcut of the USS Decatur on the front cover. Small pea-size spot on front cover. Inscribed by Dorothy Fay Gould on the copyright page, along with "48" This edition was first published by Alice Harriman, 1908, but lacks the supplemental manuscript material discovered when the Kelleher mansion, on Seattle's First Hill, was cleared out. Specifically, several pages in Phelps' hand were discovered in the attic, along with the map of Seattle, and sent by the family to Dorothy Gould. Gould, the wife of the founder of the University of Washington School of Architecture, Carl Gould (and a prominent architect himself), was a historian interested in Northwest History.The story Phelps conveys is gripping. The villagers in Seattle were certain they were doomed by Yakama and other Indians who, purportedly, had amassed east of Seattle, bent on avenging the malignant actions of Territorial Governor Isaac Stevens.
