Queen
Anne -- Community on the Hill
Hardcover
too!
In words and pictures
the history of Queen Anne unfolds in this book, from the Native
Americans who first dwelt in the Puget Sound country, through
the first European-American settlers who arrived via the Oregon
Trail in the mid 1800s, on to the explosive development of
the post-gold rush era, to today's urban struggles with growth
and livability.
Louisa Boren, the "Sweetbrier
Bride" of David Denny, describes her life in the wilderness
of north Seattle. The unique awarenesses of pioneer children,
usually neglected in historical accounts, have their own space
here. Other chapters are devoted to churches, schools, businesses,
community development and the place of Queen Anne in Seattle's
medical history.
The reader will find
this story of a north-west urban community a fascinating blend
of tales of American growth and individual perseverance. In
these pages you can walk the forest trails and modern streets
of Queen Anne with those who built it day by day.
