Excerpt from The White Darkness, and Other Stories of the Great Northwest The constable stared at the powerful square face, the Ominous flash of the eyes, and saw the clenched fists, whose muscles stood out like taut ened ropes. You can't do that, lagrange, or I should have to arrest you, and murder's a bad charge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Early Northwest My father, Robert Irwin, r., came to Green Bay from Erie, Pa, in the year 1817 He was engaged in trade with the Indi ans and the few white settlers there at that time. The troops had been stationed at Green Bay about a year before, and their barracks at that time were on a hill about three miles from the mouth of the Fox river, called Camp Smith. It was in the vicinity of these barracks that the village sprang up where my father built his house, to which he brought my mother in the year 1820, a bride of nineteen. She was a native of Erie, Pa., and left a large circle of relatives; her grandfather, Col. Seth Reed, having been one of the first settlers of that place. It was on the first of October that my mother sailed up the beautiful Fox, upon the banks of which she resided most of the time for over sixty years. I have often heard her de scribe the day as being one of those soft, hazy days in autumn, so peculiar to our Indian summer, which after a stormy voy age up the lakes on a very small sailing vessel (having been driven back twice from; the mouth of Green Bay to Mackinaw by high winds), must have been delightful to her. There were but two or three American families outside the fort, but quite a number of French extraction, whom my parents ever held as valued friends. My first recollection of a home is of a house a story and a half high, situated on rising ground sloping down to the river.

Excerpt from Woman's Journeyings in the New Northwest In placing this simple and hastily written account of personal experience before the public, I wish to say that I am not unmindful of the fact that the haps and mishaps falling to the lot of an individual are not supposed to possess a high degree of interest for the world at large; but having read many scholarly dissertations on the West, and ostensibly graphic descriptions of Western life, without having received other than a vague impression much of which was erroneous and quickly vanished upon personal observation, I have taken the liberty of presuming that there are others under like impressions, and that to such, a plain statement of actual occurrences, while possessing no great merit, may be helpful in some small particular. As a consequence, I have endeavored to narrate lucidly what I saw, what I heard and the impressions I received; which has necessitated a relation of what I did, and what I said.

Excerpt from The Promise a Tale of the Great Northwest Young Carmody awoke to the realization of another day. The sun of mid-forenoon cast a golden rhombus on the thick carpet, and through the open windows the autumnal air, stirred by just the suspicion of a breeze, was wafted deliciously cool against his burning cheeks and throbbing temples. He gazed about the familiar confines of the room in puffy-eyed stupidity. There was a burning thirst at his throat, and he moistened his dry lips with a bitter-coated tongue. His mouth was lined with a brown slime of dead liquor, which nauseated him and sent the dull ache to his head in great throbbing waves. Upon a beautifully done mahogany table near the door stood a silver pitcher filled to the brim with clear, cold ice-water.

Excerpt from Northwest Yet Stannard was athletic, and at Parisian clubs and Swiss hotels men talked about his fencing and his exploits on the rocks. He was not a big man, but now his thin jacket was Open, the moulding of his Chest and the curve to his black silk belt were Greek. All the same, one rather got a sense Of cultivation than strength; Stannard looked thoroughbred, and Jimmy was proud he was his friend. Jimmy was not cultivated. He was a careless, frank and muscular English lad, but he was not al together raw, because he knew London and Paris and had for some time enjoyed Stannard's society. His manufacturing relations in Lancashire thought him an extravagant fool, and perhaps had grounds for doing so, for since Jimmy had broken their firm control his prudence was not marked.

Excerpt from Young Northwest Many years ago, the noted California historian, Hubert Howe Bancroft, told the story of the Pacific Northwest in several fat volumes. Although he wrote nearly two million words, he did not carry the narrative beyond the late eighties. I have tried to tell the same story - in its entirety - in fewer than 70,000 words! Of necessity, great names have been omitted and significant events have been passed over. Still I believe that the main current of this dramatic narrative will be found on the pages which follow. I am indebted to various friends who have offered valuable suggestions and to many authors, living and dead, whose works I have consulted. Most of all, I am grateful to Miss Nellie B. Pipes of the Oregon Historical Society, and to Mr. Walter W. R. May of the Portland General Electric Company, who - cheerfully and without a whimper - undertook the thankless task of checking the manuscript.
