Description:Excerpt from Trailmakers of the Northwest The 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, red-skinned aborigines who might be friends to-day and deadly enemies 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.- For many years I have been an eager reader of the literature of the subject, and repeatedly I have myself made expeditions to the dwindling regions that yet remain unexplored. The present book is the outcome of this reading and of these first-hand experiences. It does not purport to be exhaustive. It is rather an impressionistic picture of a great epic movement, and, frankly, it is a book for boys - young and old. In an appendix the reader will find a list of books, some of which, I hope, he will take the trouble to consult. By so doing he can become the partner of many an interesting adventurer and can enjoy by proxy imlimited thrilling experiences.
