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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Who Burnt Columbia? Opinion was divided as to its probable route from there. It was not believed that it would pass through Columbia until about Wednesday, February 15, and even then it was gener ally believed that it would not cross the Congaree River, but proceed up Broad River. On Thurs day, however, considerable skirmishing took place between the advance of the army and a few cavalry under Gen. Butler, between Congaree Creek and old Granby Point, three to five miles below Columbia. A few companies of cavalry composed the entire Confederate force at or near Columbia but not sufficient to oppose the approach of the large army of Sherman. At this time I have no records or reports by which I could give the relative strength of the par ties, but it was generally believed that Sherman had sixty thousand men, that one division had gone farther west, not far from Augusta, and that over forty thousand men were in the two divisions marching on Columbia. About twenty thousand, as well as I could estimate, crossed Saluda and Broad rivers and entered Columbia another division, equally large, passed up Broad River, crossing thirty or forty miles above.

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.
