Contact seller5-star seller8vo. 84, [2] pp. Numerous tables throughout. Light-green printed softovers (minor shelfwear, very minor rubbing), still NF copy. First edition of this informative report issued two years before Washington's 1889 statehood, and of interest for several specific sections included within. These include chapters on such topics as: No…rthwest Coast Native Americans in which the report details that the Territorial government's police was "to encourage the abandonment of the tribal relation, and to turn the ambition of the individual Indian from feats of arms and daring to the attainment of distinction in the walks of civilized life;" the Chinese-American community questions, in which he states "the antagonisms between the Americans and the Chinese are inherent and incurable. Nowhere in the nature of the two races can be found anything in common" with extensive examinations of the rising anti-Chinese sentiment in and around San Francisco.

Contact seller5-star sellerA detailed report on the various aspects of Washington Territory's geography, population, mining, labor, agriculture, seal hunting, etc. Also present is a report on the "Condition of the Indians in the Territory," who "of course, would prefer to remain by themselves, but they are not a dull or an unreasonably obstinate race, and…, recognizing the march of events, they perceive that the choice for them is to adapt themselves to the ways of the white man or fade from the face of the earth." The governor praises recent acts of Congress to open reservations to White settlers, and encourages more to be opened in the future. Towards the end of the work there is also a lengthy discussion of "The Chinese Question." The governor writes: "In my opinion the antagonisms between the Americans and the Chinese are inherent and incurable. Nowhere in the nature of the two races can be found anything in common; and wherever they meet on the surface of the earth, the question must be, which shall prevail over the other; and not, as in the case of other peoples, what can they jointly do for their common good." Original printed olive wrappers, stapled. Lightly soiled, lower right corner of front wrapper torn, spine chipped. Evenly tanned, otherwise internally clean. A very good copy.
