How dangerous was it to work and play on the river in the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s? No radios, helicopters or boats of the modern Coast Guard rescued the man who was thrown overboard in the 1800s. Few ever survived. Heavy clothing, quickly water-soaked, pulled the victims under the surface before anyone nearby could help. Some managed to float for a while, waves slapping against their faces, the cold paralyzing their limbs, their weakening cries for help going unheeded or unheard until they too sank down into the depths. Salmon Fever is a collection of historical articles from Astoria, Oregon newspapers that reveal a frightening past on this famously treacherous river. Once you pick it up, you won't be able to put it down.
