The Columbia Unveiled

Authors

  • T. C. Elliott

Abstract

"The trip by Mr. Lorraine is, as far as known to the writer, the first travel of a white man over the entire length of the river recorded in the history of the river since David Thompson accomplished his voyage of discovery in the year 1811… Unfortunately the historical references and statements are based upon insufficient or erroneous information... Had this story been tied up to that of David Thompson by use of the daily journal kept by that wonderful man this book might have been a real addition to the history as well as the literature of the river."
