On Spokane River
The original caption reads: "Spokane river, from a short distance below its head in Coeur d'Alene lake to its confluence with the Columbia, flows through the midst of what was the territory of the Spokan Indians. The character of the country through which the stream passes for some miles above its mouth is well shown in the picture. Northward from the stream lie the mountains among which the three Spokan tribes hunted deer and gathered their supplies of roots." |
