A propos de cet article

Two chroniclers meet across a century along the rain-swept Pacific rim in an intimate portrait of wilderness, time, and the frontier mind. The author of This House of Sky provides a magnificent evocation of the Pacific Northwest through the diaries of James Gilchrist Swan, a settler of the region. The narrative tracks this restless Bostonian through four decades of archival notebooks across the fog-bound promontory of Cape Flattery. Along the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the chronicle follows their shared maritime landscape, exploring the elusive boundary between past and present. His account reconstructs Swan's years as teacher and customs collector among the Makah people of Neah Bay, recording coastal storms, cedar canoes, and tribal lore. Doig fuses parts of the Swan diaries with his own journal. Native American History: Details Swan's deep alliance with coastal tribes, from repainting the sacred burial tableaus of murdered chieftain Swell to documenting ocean whale hunts. American West: Reconstructs an 1883 journey along the uncharted western shore of the Queen Charlotte Islands, braving heavy North Pacific surf in a mended Haida cedar canoe. Smithsonian Correspondent: Chronicles Swan's decades dispatching thousands of ethnographic artifacts and wildlife specimens to Spencer Fullerton Baird at the national museum. Also by This Author: This House of Sky. …
