Blue Cloth Hardcover;; "The true story of the exploration of the American Northwest is one of the most picturesque and romantic in human annals. Adventurous men, pushing into the unknown at the hazard of their lives, discovered wilderness oceans whose waters seemed to mingle with the sky, followed the winding courses of mighty rivers for thousands of miles, found their way through mountain labyrinths where craggy peaks lifted high their ice-clad summits, hunted strange and dangerous wild beasts, traded and fought with tribes of treacherous, re-skinned aborigines who might be friends to-day and deadly enimies to-morrow, and finally, after centuries of effort, stood upon the shores of the vast Pacific and gazed westward over its heaving waters toward the old"Cathay." With the exception of light foxing throughout, this 79 year old book is clean and unmarked inside but is cocked and shows wear at the tips and edges not to mention soil spots on the cover.; 4242; 8 1/4"H X 5 1/4"W 277
