Published by Nettle Creek Publishing Co, Seattle, WA, Oct 1985. 1st Edition 13th Printing. Hardbound. Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Nr Fine in Chipped & Taped DJ. Orig owner's name, date & note on back side of front loose endpaper. Small spot stain on outside content edge. 345 Pgs. ISBN 091489000X. LCCN 67-31657. This book not only rattle the skeletons in Seattle's historical closets, it even reaches in and audaciously tickles their funny bones. In the process, the haloed ''Seattle Spirit'' gets debunked as, at best, enlightened self-interest; the hallowed legends of pioneer ''vision and effort'' get the ground cut out from under them, and the saintliness gets wiped off the faces of some of Seattle's most illustrious ''philanthropists,'' while some distinctly less socially-acceptable rise to hero status. The author views with vast amusement the foibles, the in-fighting, the questionable maneuvers and the high-handed tactics that were indigenous to the times as individuals, cities and railroads scrambled for wealth and power on Puget Sound.
