Mighty Mo: The Biography of The Last Battleship von Gordon & Smith Newell, Vice Admiral Allan E. (Ret)
12/4/22
Got this mainly because we visited it while in Honolulu. Doesn't include any of its history after 1969, obviously.
This was quite an entertaining history of Seattle through biography. I liked the way it focused on one family's experiences and actions in the making of Seattle (and throughout the first 50 years or so of its history). It's rather old-fashioned in the use of long quotes, but the quotes (from diaries and letters, mostly) are well chosen and fascinating. It's a little quaint in its glowing praise at times, but rarely too much. The only other fault is the small print.
This 50 year old book provided a very nice pictorial history of ocean transportation.
