... "A twenty-four-year-old New Englander of aristocratic Yankee stock toured the territories of California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. A novelized memoir of his travels, it became a bestseller when it was published shortly after the author's untimely death in the Civil War." The author, Major Winthrop, was one of the first Union officers killed in the Civil War in 1861.
A novelization of the author's Northwest tour made in 1853, providing a vivid picture of the nature and culture of the pacific Northwest and descriptive conversations with the Chinook, Kallapooga, Haida Indians, among others. His narrative is told with considerable humor, and contains 4 pages of Chinook vocabulary. The second work, "Isthmiana, " was a sketch found among Winthrop's papers, a rapidly written journal of his travels in the Isthmus of Panama.
