Before railways and great cities, the Pacific Northwest was a raw frontier of muddy tracks, restless rivers and fragile hopes. In this vivid Pacific Northwest pioneer memoir, Edward Jay Allen looks back on his years as an early traveller and settler in what were then the Oregon and Washington Territory. These pages remember that world. Hiou Tenas Iktah - its title drawn from Chinook jargon of the Pacific Northwest - gathers a frontier history narrative collection of early settler reminiscences: encounters with landscape, communities and the everyday labour of pioneer life and travel in the 19th century Pacific Northwest. Allen writes from the shifting ground of native American-settler relations, observing with curiosity, respect and the biases of his age, and his voice sits alongside the Lewis and Clark journals as a key first-hand witness to a region in transformation. For Pacific Northwest history buffs and for students of frontier history, it offers a rare, intimate companion to more formal native American history books and territorial records. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Perfect for casual readers drawn to real-life adventure as well as dedicated collectors of classic pioneer narratives, this carefully prepared edition keeps a distinctive historical witness alive, preserving both the texture of Allen's reminiscences and the cultural world they so closely observed.
