Native Seattle

Histories from the Crossing-Over Place by Coll Thrush...this was something I had to read for school.  I am taking a course called Hometown History.  Most of what I have read for this class I have enjoyed and this book wasn't any different.  I was impressed by the intertwining of Native American History and Seattle's History.  I loved the way the author intertwined stories from Seattle's past and present.  Many issues about how the city was formed, how the indigenous people where treated, and how the land was altered to form the city that is there today.  After reading this book I wanted to return to Seattle to check out some of the places mentioned.  I think someone from Seattle, someone who has lived in Seattle or someone who visits Seattle a lot would enjoy this book.  That being said...this is a history book.  It isn't dry...in fact it is interesting!  I recommend!
