The Dalles is a stretch of the Columbia River where basalt rock forces the water into a narrow, churning channel, and this engraved view gives it the drama that made the spot both feared and celebrated by travelers. For emigrants on the Oregon Trail, the rapids and the rock walls meant a hard passage, and portage around the falls was often the most dangerous part of the journey west. Engravings like this one circulated widely in the nineteenth century, shaping how readers back East imagined the Pacific Northwest. Look closely at the rocky banks and small figures for a sense of scale.
