Sweetbriar (#1 Seattle Sweetbriar Series/Brenda Wilbee) (Pioneer Romance)
L avatar reviewed on


This ISBN relates to the Hardcover editition as well.

This is the first of 6 novels by Wilbee. They are "creative nonfiction" of early Seattle, told mainly through the viewpoint of Louisa Boren Denny, the young woman who laid the city's first foundation. The author read hundreds of books, pioneer diaries and scrapbooks in order to retell an accurate history in dramatic form. There is a bit of romance thrown in as well.
