Beskrivelse
TOTEM TALES OF OLD SEATTLE is the gaudy, primitive and hilarious collection of tales, legends and anecdotes that brings to life a willful, fun-loving frontier-and a city that's never been tamed.'This is a rollicking tale that makes you regret you weren't around to see the actual happenings of a hundred years ago. Today, however, nothing could be more fun than Gordon Newell's approach to what might be called, in the broad sense, 'history.' In addition to the tremendous amount of material, there is probably the most wondrous humor one could find!''A glorious, gaudy, wondrous recital of Seattle days and ways....the most readable, ribald, irreverent city history that has ever been written'-William Hogan, San Francisco Chronicle'Like the Seattle of old, the book is gaudy, bawdy and sly.'-Marine Digest'This book makes of Seattle a city to fascinate the citizens of New Orleans, New York or Dubuque.'-Seattle Post Intelligencer
