Book Description
Excerpt from Report of an Examination of the Upper Columbia River and the Territory in Its Vicinity in September and October, 1881: To Determine Its Navigability, and Adaptability to Steamboat Transportation, Made by Direction of the Commanding General of the Department of the Columbia Great Plain composing the northern portion of the interior basin of the Columbia. It is believed that the maps and information contained in this report will be of value in the navigation of the Columbia, in any questions which may arise in connection with the improvement of the river, to all persons who take an interest in the development and prosperity of the Northwest, and to all the civil and military agents of the government whose duties require of them a knowledge of the country embraced. With the approval of General Miles I submit this report to you, with the request that it be published, and that 300 copies may be furnished for use in the Department of the Columbia.
