The Bridge of the Gods / A Romance of Indian Oregon. 19th Edition.

The narrative entwines a frontier romance with tribal legend and daily life among indigenous peoples of the Columbia River region, tracing alliances, rivalries, and personal loyalties as an ancient stone bridge that once spanned the river becomes the focal point of myth and catastrophe. Vivid scenes of village customs, hunting, canoe travel, and ceremonial practices alternate with dramatic episodes of conflict and reconciliations, while oral tradition, geological mystery, and cultural detail shape a portrait of community, destiny, and the forces—natural and human—that reshape landscape and society.
