To quote from the Strong¿s preface, ¿the project originated with our interest in learning about the archaeological resources of the Columbia River. The descriptions of places we know so impressed us that we found ourselves following the route, taking notes & pictures.¿ The Strongs supplied this book with over 200 photos, many of them sites that have been since consumed by geological, riverine or human forces.

The maneuver is bold, the outcome stimulating."—Charles Tilly, New School for Social Research "A passionate and first rate historical adventure. The plot is as intricate, fascinating, and full of intrigue and detail as a Dickens or a Tolstoy novel."—John Nichols, author of The Milagro Beanfield War
