A harbinger of books devoted to the mighty Columbia River, Freeman documents his row-boat foray down the river -- before it was entirely tamed by damming -- with excellent prose. Many photographs depict his route downstream. The author's book on the Yellowstone was published the following year. SMITH, 3286. This copy now protected with a removable, clear mylar jacket.
