A tight, attractive later printing of this chronicle of the north-south river in British Columbia, Canada, north of the Pacific Northwest - the 42nd contribution to the renowned "Rivers of America" series. Interestingly, front flyleaf bears the early Art Deco-ish custom bookplate of Ralph G. Newman (1912-98), founder of Chicago's noted Abraham Lincoln Book Shop.
