THE CANOE AND THE SADDLE, ADVENTURES AMONG THE NORTHWESTERN, RIVERS AND FORESTS (CLASSIC REPRINT) By Theodore Winthrop **BRAND NEW**.

About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from The Canoe and the Saddle: Adventures Among the Northwestern Rivers and Forests; And Isthmiana Theodore Winthrop's celebrated romance of frontier adventure has been out of print for some years, but the frequent calls for a new edition, properly illustrated, testify to its abiding charm and value. In undertaking such an edition, I have felt that a book which seems destined to remain the chief classic of our early Northwest deserves most careful editing and very generous illustration. The reprint here presented, with its addition of the author's letters and journals, covering his entire stay on the Pacific Coast, and with illustrations selected from a wide field, will doubtless appeal to an even larger circle of readers than that which welcomed "The Canoe and the Saddle" on its first appearance, fifty years ago. In annotating the author's text, my aim has been, without overloading the volume, to give such explanations and such quotations from the authorities as may be needed to render the book wholly intelligible to distant readers, who may know nothing of the Siwash and his home, and little of Northwestern history. The illustrations are of several sorts. First of all, the book is a picture of the great stage set by Nature for the drama of state-building. Hence many of the pictures are of noble scenery. That the book might show Winthrop's route from Western to Eastern Washington, as well as the famous "Citizens' Road" which so greatly interested him, I made a trip during the last summer across the Naches Pass with an expert photographer. We were fortunate in obtaining a number of remarkable views of a region never before photographed, - views of mountain, canyon and forest that will aid readers to travel with Winthrop through a wonderful district now almost unvisited. But "Canoe and Saddle" is more than a nature book. As a brilliant snap-shot picture of frontier conditions, I have tried to illustrate it very largely from historical sources. The pictures of Indian life and historic places and persons will be found unusually full and valuable. In the table of illustrations, care has been taken to give credit to those who have kindly aided me in collecting these interesting pictures of pioneer days and leaders. I am greatly indebted to the author's family for their kindness in placing his letters and journals at my disposal.
