Snake River In Hells Canyon is an excellent historical guide to the Hells Canyon region of the Snake River along the Oregon-Idaho-Washington border. The first 100 pages are a chronological account of the canyon area, from the Lewis & Clark explorations in 1806 to modern-day river runners and captains. The remaining 300 pages detail sections of the river beginning at Cambridge, ID, and continuing north through Brownlee Reservoir, Hells Canyon Dam, Pittsburg Landing, and all the way to Lewiston. These lengthy sections are marvelously described, and the narrative is from the perspective of someone actually voyaging down the river. This book makes for fascinating reading, even if you never set eyes on the actual canyon. It's also extremely well-illustrated with many archival photographs of sites and people of the region.
