History of Seattle before 1900: Two conflicting perspectives exist for the early history of Seattle.  There is the "establishment" view, which favors the centrality of the Denny Party (generally the Denny, Mercer, Terry, and Boren families), and Henry Yesler.  A second, less didactic view, advanced particularly by historian Bill Speidel and others such as Murray Morgan, sees David Swinson "Doc" Maynard as a key figure, perhaps "the" key figure.  In the late nineteenth century, when Seattle had become a thriving town, several members of the Denny Party still survived; they and many of their descendants were in local positions of power and influence.  Maynard was about ten years older and died relatively young, so he was not around to make his own case.  The Denny Party were generally conservative Methodists, teetotalers, Whigs and Republicans, while Maynard was a drinker and a Democrat.  He felt that well-run prostitution could be a healthy part of a city's economy.  He was also on friendly terms with the region's Native Americans, while many of the Denny Party were not.  Thus Maynard was not on the best of terms with what became the Seattle Establishment, especially after the Puget Sound War.  He was nearly written out of the city's history until Morgan's 1951 book "Skid Road" and Speidel's research in the 1960s and 1970s.
