Columbia River Gorge history. Volume one by Jim Attwell 
This is some of the history of the early days in the Columbia River Gorge. The Indians were her many, many moons before the white people came, but they left no written history. This writer did not come with the first explorers so must depend on some of the history left by them, however he was a descendant of some of the early settlers and friends of others, who have given him stories which he wishes to pass on. -- Amazon 150 pages : illustrations, maps ; 21 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

Spokane corona eras & empires by Edmund T. Becher
The historical corona of the "Spokane Country," rife with romance and intrigue, truly shines brightly. It outshines most areas of the world because the Inland Empire was the last section of the North American continent to come under the control and development of a single modern imperialistic nation. This tardy development came about because the Inland Empire was ringed by formidable mountain ranges, difficult to penetrate-The Rocky Mountains to the eat, to the north the Selkirks, the Cascades on the west the the Blue Mountains on the southern rim.Geographical remoteness set the stage for the most interesting historical dramas possible. The isolation retarded the rapid influx of agricultural settlers, elsewhere often a rather prosaic over-night affair, and instead, forced an unusually long and exciting period of human-interest events involving fiercely resisting Indians, rugged explorers, freedom loving fur traders, missionaries, prospectors, miners, soldiers, cattle and sheep raisers, adventurers, surveyors and railroad builders, all of whom, for six or seven decades, were permitted to operate in a wild romantic land, uncluttered with white populations vii, 319 pages : illustrations, maps, portraits ; 24 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

Valley of the spirits the Upper Skagit Indians of western Washington by June M. Collins
"Although the Upper Skagit Indians at one time controlled the great Skagit River drainage system in northwestern Washington, relatively little has been known about them, owing to the isolation in which many of them lived. When June Collins began her field work among the Upper Skagit in 1942, many precontact religious traditions and family and kinship practices had survived. Continuing her field work at intervals over a period of twenty years, she formed strong friendships with her informants. She is therefore able to present one of the most detailed and thorough ethnographic studies ever undertaken of a Northwest Coast people. Of particular interest is the exceptionally detailed description of Upper Skagit religious life, which was characterized by a belief in guardian spirits. Basing her analysis on dozens of case studies and descriptions by informants, Collins discusses the nature of the spirits, how they were acquired by the individual, the powers they conferred, and the dances held in their honor"--Book jacket xiii, 267 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm.
