Troutdale

Meer over het boek

The book explores Troutdale's rich history, highlighting its significance as a Native American encampment and a key stop for Lewis and Clark during westward expansion. Pioneers faced challenges from dense forests and harsh winds but built a vibrant community known for record-setting smelt runs and its title as the celery capital of the world. The transformation of its main street from a dirt road to the first paved highway in the Pacific Northwest, along with the arrival of the railroad, established Troutdale as a popular destination for tourists and photographers drawn to the stunning Columbia River Gorge.
