In the Oregon Country: Out-Doors in Oregon, Washington, and California Together with some Legendary Lore, and Glimpses of the Modern West in the Making

Name: In the Oregon Country: Out-Doors in Oregon, Washington, and California Together with some Legendary Lore, and Glimpses of the Modern West in the Making
Author: Putnam, George Palmer

Putnam, George Palmer

Olympus, Mount (Wash.); Oregon -- Description and travel; Rainier, Mount (Wash.); Sierra Nevada (Calif. and Nev.)

Corresponding Member of the Geographical Society
  of Philadelphia, Fellow of the Royal
  Geographical Society

  _With 219 Illustrations and 2 New Maps. $5.00_

A contribution to the description and history of a region that has been
sadly neglected. The author is the first to have surveyed and
photographed a large territory of the Selkirks, covering about 600
square miles in the northerly part. His superb photographs, some taken
from the top of the loftiest peaks, are a great addition to this
important and fascinating work.

  The Lower Amazon

  A Narrative of Explorations in the Little-Known Regions
  of the State of Pará, on the Lower Amazon, with a
  Record of Archæological Excavations on Marajó
  Island at the Mouth of the Amazon River,
  and Observations on the General Resources
  of the Country

  By Algot Lange

  Author of "In the Amazon Jungle"
  Late officially connected with the Bureau of Indian Affairs
  of the Brazilian Federal Government

  _With an Introduction by Frederick S. Dellenbaugh
  8°. 100 Illustrations and Maps. $2.50_

To readers of Algot Lange's former book, "In the Amazon Jungle," the
present volume needs no introduction. No explorer of modern times has
had a more adventurous or more fruitful career. The scientific,
archæological, and topographical results of his explorations are only
exceeded by the adventure of his expeditions, and he has proved himself
a faithful and supremely interesting raconteur. The scene of his present
volume lies in the extreme eastern part of that vast division of South
America lying on both sides of the greatest river in the world.

The explorer's adventure with a nest of boa-constrictors, his discovery
of an island covered with pottery of an ancient race, and of tribes of
stark naked Indians living in the most primitive style, using stone axes
and making dugouts as they must have been made many centuries ago, is
supplemented by his valuable information of the undeveloped wealth of
the vast tract traversed.
