FOREWORD
The background of this collection of sketchesand stories is the country through whichflowed one of the most interesting of ourwestern rivers before its destruction as a naturalwaterway.
This book is not a history. It is intended as aninterpretation of the life along the river that theauthor has come in contact with during many yearsof familiarity with the region. Names of places andcharacters have been changed for the reason that,while effort has been made to adhere to artistictruth, literary liberties have been taken with factswhen they have not seemed essential to the story.
