Chief Seattle and the Town That Took His Name
When Chief Seattle was a boy, he saw the first European, Captain
Vancouver, sail into Puget Sound. By the time he died, the burgeoning
settlement had honored him by naming itself Seattle. In a half-century
of tremendous flux, turmoil, and violence, Seattle, the man,
understood the force of the coming change and attempted to
construct a hybrid world in which prosperity would be shared by
natives and settlers.
