David Denny
David Thomas Denny (March 17, 1832〔, Part II: Chapter 3, p. 203〕 – November 25, 1903) was a member of the Denny Party, who are generally collectively credited as the founders of Seattle, Washington, USA. Though he ultimately underwent bankruptcy, he was a significant contributor to the shape of the city.〔 Roger Sale, in his book ''Seattle, Past to Present'', described him as having been "the pioneer to turn to if one had a plan that would be 'good for Seattle', and one needed a respectable tone and a willing investor."〔Roger Sale, ''Seattle, Past to Present'' (1978), University of Washington Press, ISBN 0-295-95615-1. p. 26.〕
==Early life and journey to the Oregon Country==
Denny was born in Putnam County, Illinois.〔 With what would become known as the ''Denny Party''—named after Denny's older brother Arthur Denny—he traveled west by covered wagon in 1851 to Oregon. Along with John Low and Lee Terry, he traveled by boat to the future site of Seattle, arriving September 25, 1851. As Low went to reconnoiter with the rest of the group, and Lee Terry headed south on Puget Sound in search of tools, David Denny—too young at this time to stake a land claim in his own right—was briefly left as the sole member of the group at Alki in what is now West Seattle.
