Download or read book Wild Beauty written by Terry Toedtemeier and published by Northwest Photography. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wild Beauty illuminates the rich photographic heritage of one of the most magnificent landforms of the American West with 134 images by three dozen photographers, including Carleton Watkins, Benjamin Gifford, Fred Kiser, Lily White, Sarah Ladd, Alfred Monner, and Ray Atkeson. These rare photographs, most of them previously unpublished, have been meticulously restored and then carefully reproduced in four-color process to capture the nuanced tones and subtle coloring of albumen silver prints, gelatin silver prints, platinum prints, hand-colored photographs, and early Kodachromes." "The Columbia Gorge exerts a powerful influence on the lives and imaginations of those who live in the region, and those who visit. As the only near-sea-level passage through the Cascade Range, it was a corridor of trade and a center of culture for Native Americans for thousands of years. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Lewis and Clark traced their westward path of exploration through the Gorge, and half a century later the early emigrant wagon trains followed the same course to the Pacific Northwest."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Vintage View written by Jon Ares and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-01-22 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic beauty and stunning natural features of the Columbia River Gorge between Oregon and Washington States has drawn photographers and adventurers to record its drama since the photographic medium arrived in the American West in the mid-1800's. From Carlton E. Watkins' first glass plates in 1867, through the plates and film negatives of such photographers as Benjamin Gifford, William Henry Jackson, Edward S. Curtis, and Ray Atkeson, the Gorge has been captured and shared with the world, first for tourism and commercial expansion; later for recording the impressive geologic and cultural significance the region holds for the North American continent. The unique and diverse beauty of the region is still available live, and in-person. This book does not attempt to pass itself off as a collection of “vintage” photographs, authentic to the past, but rather embraces the look and style of those bygone photographer's work, while showcasing the modern look and form of the Columbia River Gorge, as they “may have seen it” - today. Imagine stepping back in time, but remaining firmly in the comfort of the present.

Book Synopsis Bridging a Great Divide by : Kathie Durbin
Download or read book Bridging a Great Divide written by Kathie Durbin and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Act, setting into motion one of the great land-use experiments of modern times. The act struck a compromise between protection for one of the West's most stunning landscapes--the majestic Gorge carved by Ice Age floods, which today divides Washington and Oregon--and encouragement of compatible economic development in communities on both sides of the river. In Bridging a Great Divide, award-winning environmental journalist Kathie Durbin draws on interviews, correspondence, and extensive research to tell the story of the major shifts in the Gorge since the Act's passage. Sweeping change has altered the Gorge's landscape: upscale tourism and outdoor recreation, gentrification, the end of logging in national forests, the closing of aluminum plants, wind farms, and a population explosion in the metropolitan area to its west. Yet, to the casual observer, the Gorge looks much the same as it did twenty-five years ago. How can we measure the success of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Act? In this insightful and revealing history, Durbin suggests that the answer depends on who you are: a small business owner, an environmental watchdog group, a chamber of commerce. The story of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area is the story of the Pacific Northwest in microcosm, as the region shifts from a natural-resource-based economy to one based on recreation, technology, and quality of life.

Every day, dozens of freight trains--as well as Amtrak passenger trains--snake along on opposite banks of the wide river, and rail operations have become an integral part of the heartbeat of the gorge.
