446 p. At the age of 68 M. J. Lorraine explored the Columbia River from its source to its mouth alone in a rowboat. He was the second person, after David Thompson in 1811, to make this unbroken voyage in one boat, which he had built himself. The book describes his preparations for the journey and experiences along the way as well as the country through which he travelled, and is illustrated with a number of black-and-white photographs he took en route.

Colored image of Castle Rock on the Columbia River. This is a winter scene with snow on the riverbanks and tree limbs. Bare trees line the riverbanks of the Columbia River, merging with the green fir trees in the background. The view is centered as if from the middle of the river, looking into the background, directly at Castle Rock. A small rowboat with two passengers rests on the left riverbank. Castle Rock's reflection is cast upon the river showing colors of red rock, white snow and green plant growth at its crown.

A black and white photograph of a sternwheeler identified as the "Hattie Bell", at Rooster Rock on the Columbia River. The ship lies placidly on still water, and the details of its paddlewheel, two lifeboats, the cabin and decks can all be clearly seen. In the foreground, trees or bushes frame the view; in the background the impressive shape of Rooster Rock rises above the water on the left of the picture. The rounded hill to the right is heavily wooded with conifers. High-water marks can be seen at the base of Rooster Rock.
A colored photograph with the caption "Columbia River Log Raft ready for Ocean Voyage, Another raft under construction in background". In the foreground on the left side of the photo are log pilings and what looks like a water wheel or some sort of scaffolding on the side of a building. On the river and partly obscured by the pilings is a man in a rowboat. He seems to be regarding the cigar-shaped ocean-going log raft being pulled by a tugboat. There are chains holding the log raft together, running across the logs every few feet. White smoke or steam streams from the tug's smokestack. Another tug is approaching. To the right of the tugs is a log cradle where the rafts are formed. On the beach are what look like log buildings, with red roofs. At the far end of the buildings tall light-colored pilings are standing. Behind them and all along the shore is a lush forest.
