Isaac I. Stevens: Young Man in a Hurry

Front Cover
Brigham Young University Press, 1979 - Biography & Autobiography - 484 pages
Washington Territory's first governor remains as controversial today as he was to his frontier contemporaries during the Pacific Northwest's most turbulent era--the mid-1850s. Indian wars, martial law, and bitter political disputes, as well as the establishment of a new governmental system, characterized Isaac I. Stevens' years as governor (1853-57).
