Overview
""Claim Number One"" is a book written by George W. Ogden. The book is a historical account of the first land claim in the state of Washington, which was made by Michael T. Simmons in 1844. The story is set in the Pacific Northwest during the mid-19th century, when the region was still largely unexplored and unsettled. The book details the struggles and challenges that Simmons faced as he tried to establish his claim, including conflicts with Native American tribes and other settlers. The author also explores the broader historical context of the time, including the tensions between the United States and Great Britain over control of the region. Overall, ""Claim Number One"" is a fascinating account of one man's determination to claim his piece of the American West, and the larger forces that shaped the region during this pivotal moment in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
