Native accounts of Nootka ethnography by Edward Sapir, Morris Swadesh 
This volume constitutes a continuation of Nootka Texts, Tales, and Ethnological Narratives, with Grammatical Notes and Lexical Materials, published in 1939. A third volume, Nootka Legends and Stories, is in preparation. Edward Sapir died while Nootka Texts was in press. The material for the subsequent volumes was already collected, the general plan laid out, the translation and editing begun by Sapir or by myself working under his guidance. However, a great deal remained to be carried out with- out his help. Editorial economy was a major problem. If the full body of Sapir's native Nootka collection were to be published in the manner followed in Nootka Texts, it would require eight or ten comparable volumes. Some simplification for the subsequent volumes, such as omissions of interlinear translation and linguistic commentary, were already envisaged by Sapir. However, it proved desirable to go much farther-- to adopt a terser style of translation, to limit materials given in notes, to use simple phonetic symbols which eliminate diacritics and allow more compact printing. For people familiar with Vancouver Island it has to be explained that the present materials do not come from the town of Nootka, but from the vicinity of Alberni. We say Nootka, because anthropologists are in the habit of using that term for all the west coast Indians from Alberni Canal to Kyuquot Sound. .

Home below Hell's Canyon by Grace Edgington Jordan 
During the depression days of the early 1930s the Jordan family – Len Jordan (later governor of Idaho and a United States senator), his wife Grace, and their three small children – moved to an Idaho sheep ranch in the Snake River gorge just below Hell’s Canyon, deepest scratch on the face of North America. “Cut off from the world for months at a time, the Jordans became virtually self-sufficient. Short of cash but long on courage, they raised and preserved their food, made their own soap, and educated their children” (Sterling North, New York World-Telegram). 243 pages illustrations 21 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

Adventures of Captain Bonneville by Washington Irving, Benjamin Louis Eulalie de Bonneville 
This is the deluxe Klickitat edition of this great classic a hundred and seventeen years after the first edition. It has come by its popularity, far beyond that of most books, even of most good books, by it having the frontier fur trade for a subject, by being a first hand record, by receiving a final enchantment from the one who could write Rip Van Winkle and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The "father of American literature" tells with gusto and charm the amazing travels of a picturesque soldier of fortune in the Far West during 1832-1835. Robert Reynolds, talented Northwest artist, did the original illustrations which make this book a collector's item. Adventures of Captain Bonneville is a companion volume to our Astoria 375pp. 357 pages illustrations CIRC [ 1 ]
