Want any opinion on a rare booklet ?The Columbia River Highway? which appears to have been a memorial booklet created for the opening of the highway and the Vista House back in the early 1900?s. The book contains a couple of dozen photos that have been colored. The images are many places from Vista House through parts of the highway that no longer exist. There is no date, however, one photo has an automobile that appears to have a license plate from 1920. The booklet was published by JK Gill Co. of Portland and printed by Albertype Co. Brooklyn, NY. The photographer is A.M. Prentiss of Portland.
