Description:
Paperback / softback. New. In 1849 James Swan turned his back on his wife and two children, a prosperous ship-fitting business, and the polite and predictable world of commerce in Boston and fled to the newly opened gold fields in California. Soon sick of the bonanza society, he emigrated to a shallow harbor called Shoalwater Bay (now Willapa Bay) north of the Columbia River in Washington Territory. Swan eagerly became a part of the frontier community, enjoying the company of both the white settlers and friendly Indians in the area. First published in 1857, his classic account of the western frontier remains fresh and timely for the modern reader. Swan saw himself as both an observer and participant in a barbaric invasion. His interest in the Indians and his acceptance of them as individuals of importance and integrity emerge clearly in a lively and informed narrative.

Description:
New York:: Harper & Brothers,, 1857.. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Very Good copy in brown cloth binding. The backstrip has been repaired and the FFEP replaced. Facsimile map tipped in. In 1852 Swan, originally from New England, settled for the first time in Washington, on the shore of Willapa Bay, then known as Shoalwater Bay. Swan's friend Charles J. W. Russell had settled there in 1851 to harvest oysters from the Bay's rich tidelands for shipment to San Francisco, and in 1852 he invited Swan to join him. Swan lived on Shoalwater Bay until 1855. In 1857 he described the Bay and his experiences there in The Northwest Coast, Or, Three Years' Residence in Washington Territory, one of the earliest books about life in Washington.

Description:
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1857. Small octavo, xiv, [15]- 435, [4, ads.]pp. With a frontispiece, folding map, and 17 full-page illustrations. Original brown cloth skilfully restored, a very good copy. Swan lived in Washington Territory (actually both Oregon and Washington) during 1853-55. According to Decker, he was a "secret agent for the Northern Pacific Railroad." Much of this book, however, is devoted to Swan's investigations of Indian life in the Northwest, including a good deal of material on Indian linguistics and brief vocabularies of the Chinook and Chehalis languages. It is lauded by Tweney as one of the classics of the Pacific Northwest. .
