Synopsis

The Legend of Multnomah Falls is a book written by Susan Williamson Smith and published in 1905. The book is a retelling of the Native American legend that explains the origin of Multnomah Falls, a natural wonder located in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon.According to the legend, a beautiful young woman named Loowit was courted by two powerful gods, Wy'east and Pahto. However, Loowit could not decide which god to choose and instead chose to remain neutral. This angered the gods, and they began to fight over her. The battle was so intense that it caused the earth to shake and the mountains to crumble. In the end, the gods were turned into mountains, with Wy'east becoming Mount Hood, Pahto becoming Mount Adams, and Loowit becoming Mount St. Helens.The legend also explains the creation of Multnomah Falls, which was said to be the tears of Loowit falling from Mount St. Helens. The book describes the beauty of the falls and the surrounding landscape, as well as the history of the area and its Native American inhabitants.Overall, The Legend of Multnomah Falls is a fascinating retelling of a Native American legend that adds to the rich cultural history of the Pacific Northwest.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
