Yesler Hall[edit]

The article implies that Yesler Hall was a post-Fire building. I believe that is wrong. See [1]. - Jmabel | Talk 02:20, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's been over a year and no one has addressed this; I've edited accordingly. - Jmabel | Talk 16:47, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yesler's cook house was pre seattle fire, it was originally seated on the 700 block of front street.

More importantly using son's of the profits as a source is poor form, washington school systems do not use the book because so many of the sources in the bibliography do not exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.17.110.46 (talk) 00:36, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could use expansion[edit]

Some useful articles:

Kathie M. Zetterberg with David Wilma, Henry Yesler's Native American daughter Julia is born on June 12, 1855, HistoryLink, July 30, 2001.
Henry Yesler commits fraud in Washington's first lottery held on July 4, 1876, HistoryLink, undated.
James R. Warren, Ten who shaped Seattle: Henry Yesler struck gold in lumber and real estate, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, September 25, 2001.

And the articles currently listed as "further reading" in the article cover a lot of material that we ought to have.

source correction[edit]

Source "Junius Rochester, Yesler, Henry L. (1810–1892) HistoryLink.org ("The Online Encyclopedia of Washington State History"), October 7, 1998, revised by Walt Crowley on October 17, 2002" is incorrect. That file on HistoryLink.org was removed and replaced in 2014. The correct citation should be

"John Caldbick, Yesler, Henry L. (1810–1892) HistoryLink.org ("The Online Encyclopedia of Washington State History"), August 1, 2014" 209.166.91.108 (talk) 19:42, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
