Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Washington Historical Quarterly, 1915, Vol. 6 Turning now to the sources of the Columbia, an interesting contrast exists between the beginning of trade there with that on the upper Mis souri River across the Rocky Mountain range. Manual Lisa is the name prominently connected with the Missouri River at'that period; immediately following the return of the Lewis and Clark Expedition Lisa built a trad ing post on the Yellowstone River at themouth of the Big Horn and began to purchase furs for transport to St. Louis; that was during the summer of 1807. At the same time David Thompson, a partner offthe Northwest Company of Canada, was building an. Establishment at the head waters of the Columbia, from which he transported furs to the Rainy Lakes; and fort'william on Lake Superior. Manual Lisa had troubles With snags and Indians along the Missouri and was resourceful to overcome them. David Thompson experienced even greater difficulties in crossing the Rocky Mountains and descending the long course of the Saskatchewan River to Lake Winnipeg. David Thompson is one of the most remarkable figures connected with the history of the Columbia River; the record of his career written with his own hand is not only of great scientific value, but an ih spiration to any earnest student of the history of this Pacific Northwest. He has been described as the greatest land geographer the English race has ever produced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Washington Historical Quarterly, 1918, Vol. 9 The natives of the country gained a large part of their livelihood from the pursuit, and manifested much hardihood in the capture Of the different kinds Of whales. The chase was invested with much superstition, both by the Aleutians and the Eskimo. Certain cere monies were Observed, particular care being taken as to the weapons used, and much dependence was placed in charms and medicine. Among the Aleutians even human bodies were stolen and secreted to give the possessors good fortune in the hunt.3 The Kodiak whalers Qised a harpoon with a slate head which detached from the handle and remained in the wound, causing death, after which the: carcass was towed or drifted with the tide to the shore. The Eskimos used harpoons Of fine workmanship equipped with heads of ivory and slate; and floats were attached to impede the progress Of the animal. The taking Of a whale was an occasion Of great rejoicing among the native inhabitants. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
