About this book
The Columbia River by William Denison Lyman addresses the river's history, myths, scenery, and commerce. The preface describes the volume as intended to provide a history and description of the river. The mountain description singles out the Cascade Range's great isolated snow peaks, stationed at intervals of thirty to sixty miles from the British line to California.
The coastal account describes reaching North Beach from Astoria by steamer to Ilwaco and continuing by rail towards the mouth of Willapa Harbour. North Beach is described during the season as almost a continuous city between Cape Hancock and Leadbetter Point. The account identifies Clatsop Beach on the river's south side as accessible by rail from Astoria.
