Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Eccentric Seattle, readers explore the Emerald City's troubled, tragic, and bawdy past rather than familiar, rosy portrayals. A visitor in 1897, at the height of the raucous Klondike gold rush, called the Pacific Northwest's most ambitious city 'more wicked than Sodom.' Just over a decade later, President William Howard Taft--speaking with greater generosity, or perhaps less skepticism--declared the town to be 'one of the most magnificent combinations of modern city and medieval forest . that has ever delighted the eye of men in this or any other country.'The truth, as J.
