The river is the powerful Columbia, and this film preserves a picture of it as it is now--wild, untamed, coursing through an impressively beautiful mountain region, sparsely populated but replete with history. Soon, however, many of the old ghost towns, abandoned mines and other reminders of gayer times will disappear as the dams and reservoirs of giant hydro-electric power developments change the face of the Columbia River valley.
