What did early explorers think of Elliot Bay, Seattle's major
seaport, during their initial surveys in the 1840s? What hardships
did the first white men who cruised through the San Juan Islands
face? How was Puget Sound discovered? How did the highest volcano
in the Cascade Range come to be called Mount Rainier? Such
questions are answered in this examination of the early exploration
and settlement of inland Washington. Illegible] unique text
chronicles the history of many of these expeditions: George
Vancouver's travels are described using his own journals, as well
as those of his men, to explain both the route and Puget Sound
Country; the early settlement history around the waters of Port
Angeles, through Hood Canal, around Bainbridge and Whidbey Islands,
south Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands is also recounted
through journal writings of several explorers; and the author's own
observations after his unique 30 day experience of tracing
Vancouver's path and comparing what the early explorer saw with
what exists today are offered. reasons for many names, as well. An
appendix provides a muster table for the ship Discovery, between
April 1st and May 31st, 1791 and for the ship Chatham, between May
1st and June 30 of the same year.
