Summary "Down the Columbia" by Lewis R. Freeman is an adventurous travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the author's long-held dream of a boat trip down the Columbia River, a journey that connects its glacial sources in the Canadian Rockies to the Pacific Ocean. The initial stages of the story introduce Freeman's enthusiasm for river boating as he prepares for an expedition that has long been an aspiration, highlighting the rugged beauty and challenges of the river's course. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the formative moment that sparked his ambition to voyage down the Columbia while reminiscing about past adventures in various challenging geographical settings. He vividly recounts conversations with experienced local river men who emphasize the formidable nature of the Columbia, sharing tales of rapids, navigation difficulties, and the beauty of the landscape. Freeman also outlines the planning and preparations necessary for his journey, emphasizing the selection of crew members and the anticipation of exploring a largely uncharted and visually stunning wilderness filled with both danger and opportunity.
