Stern-wheelers up Columbia a century of steamboating in the Oregon country by Randall V. Mills 
Jennie was different. Her wheels were astern, instead of port and starboard. Her rudders were close to the wheel. But she was the prize forerunner of a host of river favorites - the stern-wheelers - that were particularly adaptable to river sailing. The Jennie Clark was fast; she could cut swiftly through the rough waters of the Columbia River; she was narrow enough to skim around rocks and rapids. The story of her trips, and those of many of her successors, presents a nostalgic panorama of the adventurous days of the old Northwest, when steamboats and the men who captained them sailed their way into a new civilization. This is the first special account of steamboat navigation in the Columbia River country, and a comprehensive picture of the opening up and subsequent development of the Northwest. From the arrival of the little Beaver at Fort Vancouver in 1836 to the maiden voyage of the 219-foot stern-wheeler Portland in 1947, this entertaining book offers many facets, including the historical conflicts with Indians, the development of the wheat fleet, famous ship disasters, and accounts of the spectacular ships that ran the rapids. The region covered includes all the rivers and lakes of the Northwest except the Puget Sound area. There are tales, too, of the men who manned these ships - of Captain J. C. Ainsworth, who learned steamboating on the Mississippi; of Ben Holladay, far-famed in stagecoach history, who came north to carve his niche in steamship transportation; of U. B. Scott, whose steamship system grew to huge proportions; of the men of the Oregon Steamship Navigation Company, and many others. There are few Jennies left. Boat enthusiasts should take note of the compact appendix listing all boats, with dates of construction, sizes, types, and details of their final dispositions. It is all here - rich in lore, in the grandeur and dynamism that characterizes the great Northwest itself. 212 pages : illustrations, maps ; 25 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

Tidewater Valley a story of the Swiss in Oregon by Jo Evalin Lundy, Margaret Ayer (Illustrator) 
From the Alps of Europe to America's green Northwest: that is the background for this heart-warming tale of the Swiss who, in the 1800's, brought their ancient arts and industries to a fertile valley on the Pacific Coast. To the dairy farm of stubborn, practical Uncle Karl and jolly, lovable Aunt Rosa, come orphaned Lisi Naegli and her crippled brother Chris from their home in Lucerne Canton. Sixteen-year-old Lisi's efforts to keep peace between Uncle Karl and young Chris, and her struggle to learn the ways of America make an endearing story, but behind her adventures and triumphs moves the larger story of the settlers' problems in finding markets for their dairy products and their attempts to make good cheese in a locality where popular opinion agreed it could not be done. 246 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm.
