This work is a concise history of the Pacific Northwest. The writer, Clarence Bagley, has delivered a brief account of water supply, inland navigation, and many other significant matters concerning the Pacific Northwest, making it a little more than a historical narrative. Bagley focused on presenting this history without making it too wordy and has apparently achieved this objective successfully by making it a text of words fewer than thirty-five hundred. This work isn't a commonly witnessed lengthy and monotonous history but just an accurate, straightforward account of the evolution of the Pacific Northeast. The Pacific Northwest is a geographic region in western North America bounded by its coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean to the west and, loosely, by the Rocky Mountains to the east.
Excerpt from The Waterways of the Pacific Northwest Recently, as I have studied this subject its magnitude has grown more apparent. The space allotted my paper will permit little more than a historical sketch. It has been my life work to gather together the written and printed 'history of the Pacific Northwest, but I am not a professional writer of it. For my purpose this caption refers to the Columbia River and its tributaries, and Puget Sound and the rivers emptying into it, including the Fraser, and their watersheds. The Columbia and Fraser are the only rivers that break through the great mountain ranges which parallel the shore of Washington and Oregon. With the Pacific Ocean only a few miles away, with its intricate network of great and lesser rivers, and its inland tidal waters whose aggre gate littoral exceeds the distance between Cape Cod and Cape Flattery, it is remarkable how much of the exploration and indus trial and commercial development of the Pacific Northwest has come from the East towards the West. Alexander Mackenzie in 1793, when he discovered the upper reaches of the Great River; Lewis and Clark in 1805; Simon Fraser and John Stuart in 1805 - 6; Daniel W. Harmon in 1810; David Thompson in 1811, and a little later Wilson Price Hunt, and thereafter nearly all the leading men of the Northwest Com pany and the Hudson's Bay Company, braved the hardships and dangers of the trip over the Rocky Mountains and down the tur bulent waters.

Excerpt from The Oregonian's Handbook of the Pacific Northwest The Pacific Northwest extends from the semi-tropical valleys of Southern Ore gon to the ice fields of the Arctic ocean. The climate of all this region, with but few exceptions, is a balmy one. All that portion of this section bordering on the coast for miles or more north of Portland enjoys the climate of Virginia, with almost an entire absence of snow in winter and without extremes of heat during the sum mer months. Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washington, Idaho and Western Montana experience colder winters than does the section of the Northwest west of the Cas cade Mountains, but in no part of the Pacific Northwest, with the exception of the interior of Alaska and the mountainous regions of British Columbia, are the cold spells of winter as protracted, or is the cold as intense, as is noted in the winters of the Eastern states.

Excerpt from The Heart of the Red Firs: A Story of the Pacific Northwest Before he could repeat it the teacher stepped between them. She had a bright, speaking face. Eyes that laughed or stormed on occasion, a mouth mobile, alluring, with charm of lurking merriment, and a chin delicately square, that lifted when she spoke, with an indescribable air of decision.

Excerpt from Young Northwest Many years ago, the noted California historian, Hubert Howe Bancroft, told the story of the Pacific Northwest in several fat volumes. Although he wrote nearly two million words, he did not carry the narrative beyond the late eighties. I have tried to tell the same story - in its entirety - in fewer than 70,000 words! Of necessity, great names have been omitted and significant events have been passed over. Still I believe that the main current of this dramatic narrative will be found on the pages which follow. I am indebted to various friends who have offered valuable suggestions and to many authors, living and dead, whose works I have consulted. Most of all, I am grateful to Miss Nellie B. Pipes of the Oregon Historical Society, and to Mr. Walter W. R. May of the Portland General Electric Company, who - cheerfully and without a whimper - undertook the thankless task of checking the manuscript.

Excerpt from Myths and Legends of the Pacific Northwest: Especially of Washington and Oregon The adventures of Coyote, like those of Yehl, the Raven, of Alaska, are so many that no one could tell them all. Professor F. S. Lyman, however, groups them around three or four main heads: the theft of fire, the destruction of monsters, the making of waterfalls, and the teaching of useful arts to the Indians. Now the animal people lived before the days of the first grandfather, long, long ago, when the sun was new and no larger than a star, when the earth was young, and the tall firs of the forest no larger than an arrow. These were the days of the animal people. People had not come out yet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
