The Columbia River
Its History—Its Myths—Its Scenery—Its Commerce
By William Denison Lyman
Professor of History in Whitman College, Walla Walla, Washington
Fully Illustrated. Probable price, $3.50 net
This is the first effort to present a book distinctively on the Columbia River. It is the intention of the author to give some special prominence to Nelson and the magnificent lake district by which it is surrounded. As the joint possession of the United States and British Columbia, and as the grandest scenic river of the continent, the Columbia is worthy of special attention.

Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.
Page [190]: “irreconciliable” probably is a misprint for “irreconcilable”.
Page [226]: Index entry for “Ship-builders” referenced page v, but the term was split across pages vi-vii, and is shown here as being on page vi.
