Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"This account by a renegade Bostonian, who lived among the Indians at Willapa Bay, is particularly valuable because it shows us a man who was both a sensitive observer and participant in the white settlers’ invasion of the Indians’ lands..As the earliest book about Washington Territory, The Northwest Coast, according to Murray Morgan, ‘sets a standard few other works about the area have met. A self-taught scientist, runaway husband, promoter, teacher, essayist, townboomer, probate judge and alcoholic, Swan wrote with robust humor about the period in which the territory was created.’."
