Summary
The third installment of the story of the early settlers of the Seattle area continues to reveal the bittersweet realities of pioneering. While there was free land to be had and dreams to be realized and buildyour¬own life/can¬doattitudes to be lived out, on the flip side there was great danger and hardship. While some of the early pioneers grew stronger out of the deprivation and danger, others grew bitter and hardened, and many others lost their lives to perils they might not have foreseen. Ms. Wilbee's style of writing is easy to read and a thoroughly enjoyable way to learn about the history of Seattle. Once again, she has craftily interwoven legitimate historical facts and dialogue into her book that helps the reader to immerse herself into the characters and their lives. Reading this series of books (this particular one is the third in the series) has left me asking myself how I might have responded in the face of the circumstances these early Seattle pioneers did. I always love a book that lends itself to selfintrospection.
