Topic: David Swinson Doc Maynard


  
  David Swinson Maynard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Along with William Bell, Arthur Denny, David Denny, Henry Yesler, and Carson Boren he is considered to be one of Seattle's founding fathers.
Maynard, who arrived in the Seattle area separately from the Denny Party, was of a quite different demeanor than Arthur Denny's staunch Methodists.
He lived with both his wife and his ex-wife, drank liquor (while the Denny Party were mostly teetotalers) and deliberately found someone to start a good brothel in Seattle, believing that prostitution was essential to the economic success of a frontier town of that time.

 History of Seattle before 1900 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maynard was about ten years older and died relatively young, so he was not around to make his own case.
Doc Maynard's land claim lay south of today's Yesler Way, encompassing most of the area now known as the Pioneer Square Historical District and the International District.
He and Chief Seattle were friends and allies: Maynard certainly profited greatly from this friendship, but that should not diminish the fact that during the outbreak of violent hostilities in 1856 he risked the wrath of his fellow settlers by protecting neutral Indians.

 HistoryLink Essay: Maynard, Dr. David Swinson "Doc" (1808-1873)
Doc Maynard settled in the hamlet of Smithter, later called Olympia, and began cutting and stacking cordwood.
Doc Maynard became a roving Chamber of Commerce on behalf of Seattle, preaching its virtues from Olympia to Port Townsend.
Denny later wrote that Maynard, "stimulated" on liquor, had decided, "he was not only monarch of all he surveyed, but what Boren and I surveyed too." Unable to agree, the neighbors filed two separate plats on May 23, 1853, and their dispute is memorialized today in the tangle of mismatched cross-streets along Yesler Way.

The original party included his father, stepmother, and two older brothers, who eventually stayed on in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, as well as his younger brother, Arthur Denny's wife (who was also his step-sister, and who was pregnant throughout the journey), Mary's younger sister (who would marry David Denny in 1861), and their brother.
For the next three years Charlie Terry, who bought out his brother and Low, was the leader of the community at Alki and Denny (along with rival "Doc" Maynard) of what was to become the city of Seattle.
However, when it became clear that the tides at Alki were too strong to allow the building of piers, Terry moved to Seattle proper as well.
