Publisher Synopsis
"I have followed LLyn De Danaan's writing path for years now. She is talented and bold, and this new book puts her firmly where she belongs-at the heart of the American voice. Good stuff, highly recommended."-Luis Alberto Urrea, author of The Devil's Highway and Into the Beautiful North -- Luis Alberto Urrea "Katie Gale's story is unique in its scale; few accounts of the nineteenth-century Northwest focus on the life of a single Native woman and her family. LLyn De Danaan's writing is big history made deeply human, offering insights not just into Native American history but also into the arrival of industrial capitalism on Puget Sound, the politics of statehood and race in Washington, and the profound transformation of local landscapes."-Coll Thrush, author of Native Seattle: Histories from the Crossing-Over Place -- Coll Thrush "De Danaan's deeply sympathetic and immersive approach to her subject restores a voice to one among countless people whose story has been silenced."-Shelf Talk * Shelf Talk * "Katie Gale offers an imaginative reflection on human dignity and resilience."-Lisa Blee, Western Historical Quarterly -- Lisa Blee * Western Historical Quarterly * "This volume is an act of resurrection, well worth the contemporary reader's immersion in another life and time."-Annie Dawid, High Country News -- Annie Dawid * High Country News * Read more...
