Book Description
Excerpt from A New Log of the Columbia We are grateful to the Massachusetts Historical Society for this generous cooperation and we trust that this linking of East and West may help to advance the growing feeling of American unity in historical interests. In addition to the fragment of the Columbia's log, referred to above, there are a number of other documents of prime import ance which bear on this new log. The manuscript journal of Captain Joseph Ingraham of the brig Hope is in the Library of Congress. A complete photostat copy, including the chart and drawings, is in the University of Washington Library. Ingraham was a mate on the Columbia dur ing her first voyage. He left her at Boston in 1790 and accepted command of the Hope, sent by Boston merchants, rivals to the group owning the Columbia. His journal has many entries relating to the work of his former associates. John Hoskins was supercargo or clerk of the Columbia during her memorable second voyage to the Northwest Coast. He kept a journal which is preserved in manuscript form in the Library of the Massachusetts Historical Society. A typewritten copy is in the University of Washington Library. While it is a very useful docu ment, it ends in March, 1792, or just before the important discoveries of that spring.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Log School-House on the Columbia: A Tale of the Pioneers of the Great Northwest A year or more ago one of the librarian in charge of the young people's books in the Boston Public Library called my attention to the fact that there were few books of popular information in regard to the pioneers of the great Northwest. The librarian suggested that I should write a story that would give a view of the heroic lives of the pioneers of Oregon and Washington. Soon after this interview I meta distinguished educator who had lately returned from the Columbia River, who told me the legend of the old chief who died of grief in the grave of his son, somewhat in the manner described in this volume. The legend had those incidental qualities that haunt a susceptible imagination, and it was told to me in such a dramatic way that I could not put it out of my mind.

Book Description
Excerpt from Down the Columbia Putting the rainbow revel of the incomparable Can yon behind, we had crossed Yellowstone Lake on the ice and fared onward and upward until we came at last to the long climb where the road under its ten feet of snow wound up to the crest of the Continental Divide. It was so dry and cold that the powdery snow overlying the crust rustled under our ski like autumn leaves. The air was diamond clear, so trans parent that distant mountain peaks, juggled in the wizardry of the lens of the light, seemed fairly to float upon the eyeball. At the summit, where we paused for breath, an old Sergeant of the Game Patrol, letting down a tin can on a string, brought up drinks from an air-hole which he claimed was teetering giddily upon the very ridge pole of North America.
