Descriptive northern Pacific journey to Portland in 1880s
W. C. Endsley writes from Portland about a trip east via Northern Pacific. He details expansive plains from Jamestown to the Bad Lands, then miners and Indians near Fort Custer, Livingston, and Yellowstone, with notes on cattle, coal, and the Coeur d Alene mines. The narrative ends praising Multnomah Falls, Mount Hood, and Portland as a prosperous city worth a future visit.
