A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COLUMBIA RIVER

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COLUMBIA RIVER follows Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery (and Seaman, their dog) down the Columbia River from Wallula Gap to the mouth at Astoria. The intention is to compare and contrast the Columbia of Lewis and Clark with the river as it is now. The journals of the two leaders are quoted in each chapter to give a glimpse of what they saw and thought. Old black and white photographs taken before the dams add some visual reference.
