  “History is almost always written by the victors, and so leaves out uncomfortable truths or anything that interferes with the mythic storyline. Timothy Egan takes a close and honest look at the American invasion of the Pacific Northwest, its consequences for native peoples, the environment and we descendants of "settlers" who so unsettled our region. From Sealth to Chief Joeseph, Theodore Winthrop to Fred Beckey, Marcus Whitman to Emmet Watson, Egan takes us on a tour of our land and history you probably didn't get in school. A great read!”

  “I thought Egan's book was very interesting and sheds a new light on the history of the NW geographically. Having been to many of the places he describes, and traveling to others, this book proves to be one I'll read more than once.”

  “Egan shows his story telling prowess in this early book. He weaves in family history with state history with natural history. I am a tour guide in Seattle and I recommend this book over many others for a good overall look at the character of the Pac. NW.”
