    (UNKNOWN, 1956) The Caxton Printers, Ltd.
    "One of the last westerly frontiers, where the Columbia rushes through a desolation of sand dunes, sagebrush, and basalt cliffs, has found an interpreter. Click Relander writes with a sureness of treatment about a remnant band of Indians and the land colonization of the Pacific Northwest. The eight survivors of the once numerous tribe dwell at Priest Rapids in the last tule mat long house. They are Wanapums, River People of the Dreamer faith, descendants of the mysterious prophet, Smowhala."

    "Mr. Relander has drawn upon extensive historical and ethnological research. Consequently the writing is not limited by geographical boundaries but extends to those persons and things with which the River People came in contact--the little-known Palouses, who lived to the east; the unsung northern chief, Moses; Old Fort Simcoe in the Yakima Valley; the astounding Indian agent, the Reverend James H. Wilbur; and to other personalities and history-making events."
