Winter Brothers: A Season at the Edge of America Book

James Gilchrist Swan left four decades of diaries totalling 2,500,000 words about his life. What interested Doig was Swan's time at the Westernmost tip of the lower 48 states, the Olympic Peninsula around the Straits of Juan de Fuca and Admiralty Inlet to Puget Sound. Swan lived with the Makah Indians near Neah Bay and in Port Townsend from the 1860's to 1900. He was a Boston emigrant who spent his life at the Western edge of America and this book narrates his life as Doig is reading it from his diaries. It offers unique insight into the times and peoples of the area. Very interesting non-fiction.
