Additional Details:
Seattle was located in 1851 and named after an Indian Chief. The city is one of the largest and most enterprising ones in the Northwest, being the harbor for steamers to and from the Orient. One of the curious features erected in Pioneer Square is a Totem Pole, which is an ancient superstition symbolized in these poles, carved in wood and often in their character suggesting the Monoliths of Central America. The workmanship is clear and skillful displaying an ingenuity uncommon among semi-civilized tribes
