Publisher's Synopsis
""Pioneer Reminiscences of Puget Sound: The Tragedy of Leschi"" is a historical non-fiction book written by Ezra Meeker. The book is a collection of Meeker's personal experiences and observations of the earliest days of the Puget Sound region in Washington State. Meeker was a pioneer who arrived in the area in 1852 and witnessed the growth and development of the region. The book also focuses on the tragic story of Leschi, a prominent Native American leader who fought against the encroachment of white settlers onto Native American lands. Leschi was wrongly accused of murder and executed in 1858, which led to the tensions between Native Americans and settlers to rise. Meeker provides a unique perspective on the events leading up to Leschi's execution, as he was a witness to the conflict between the settlers and the Native Americans. He also sheds light on the cultural differences and misunderstandings that contributed to the tragic events. Overall, ""Pioneer Reminiscences of Puget Sound: The Tragedy of Leschi"" is a valuable historical account of the early days of the Puget Sound region and the complex relationships between Native Americans and settlers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
