Doc Maynard: The Man Who Invented Seattle

Speidel had been writing about his favorite city and state for 25 years when, in 1978, he published this lively and humorous re-examination of Seattle's history. What he learned while researching this book changed his view of the city's beginnings. Doc Maynard, in turn, has altered our understanding of how the "Queen City of the Northwest" got off the ground.
