About this Item
Description:
182pp. Octavo [21 cm] Burgundy cloth with the title gilt stamped to the backstrip. Very good/Very good. Gentle rubbing to the extremities of the jacket and the rear panel. Internally nice. "Wilson describes the country, outlines the problems encountered by the survey crews, and comments on the social life in such frontier towns as Victoria, Walla Walla, and Fort Colvile. He also reveals his own transformation from a somewhat patronizing and stuffy British officer, critical of the colonists and the Indians and their ways, to an understanding and not unsympathetic observer and participant in the frontier life of the Pacific Northwest." - from the jacket.
