Steamboats on Northwest Rivers
Product Description
One hundred years before dams were built on
the Columbia-Snake River system, steamboats
carried cargo and people to the farthest
reaches of those waterways. Where water
flowed, sturdy boats and bold captains went—
with no locks, dams, or artificial navigation
aids. Bill Gulick, dean of Northwest history
writers, tells the story of this colorful period
in the region’s history.
