Orphan road : the railroad comes to Seattle, 1853-1911

Author:Kurt E. Armbruster

Summary:Seattle was bitterly disappointed in 1873 when the Northern Pacific selected rival Tacoma as the future Puget Sound terminus for Washington Territory's first transcontinental railroad. Kurt Armbruster's enthralling account describes Seattle's frantic quest for a saltwater terminal of its own on Elliott Bay, and the machinations that developed between the city founders and the railroad companies
