For 100 years, before the dams were built on the Columbia-Snake river system, steamboats carried cargo and people to the farthest reaches of the rivers. Where water flowed, sturdy steamboats and bold captains went-with no navigational aids needed. William Polk Gray piloted steamboats on wilderness rivers from southwestern Idaho to northern Alaska. Gray was one of fifty or so captains who became as famous as sports stars are today. Their names and feats were known to travelers and river dwellers, just as the distinctive tone of each boat's whistle was recognized by hero-worshipping boys who dreamed of growing up to be river captains. Bill Gulick, dean of Northwest history writers, tells the story of this colorful period in the region's history. Bill Gulick is considered to be the dean of Northwest history writers. During a career spanning more than half a century, Bill has written more than 30 books, 5 movie scripts, and more than 200 articles and stories for newspapers, magazines, and television. A long-time Washington state resident, Gulick has won numerous regional and national awards. He was one of the founders of the Western Writers of America.
