Books Added by the Library Association of Portland

Abstract

"The following titles not in the Checklist of Pacific Northwest Americana have been recently secured by the Library Association of Portland: Travels in North America… This purports to be an account of one George Philips, an Irishman, who joined the Lewis and Clark Expedition at St. Louis and remained with it until they reached Fort Mandan on the return. The other is the 'Memoirs of Brigadier General John Alexander Kress.' It includes his reminiscences of life at Fort Vancouver in the '70s and of the Nez Perce War."
