Excerpt from Blazing the Way: Or True Stories, Songs and Sketches of Puget Sound and Other Pioneers It does contain some items and incidents not generally known or heretofore published. I hope others may be provoked to record their pioneer experiences. I have had exceptional opportunities in listening to the thrice-told tales of parents and friends who had crossed the plains, as well as personal recollections of experiences and oh servation during a residence of over fifty years in the Northwest, acknowledging also the good fortune of having been one of the first white children born on Puget Sound. Every old pioneer has a store of memories of adventures and narrow escapes, hardships bravely endured, fresh pleasures enjoyed, rude but genial merrymakings, of all the fascinating incidents that made up the wonder-life of long ago. Chronology is only a row of hooks to hang the garments of the past upon, else they may fall together in a confused heap.
