Summary "Oregon, Washington and Alaska; Sights and Scenes for the Tourist" by E. L. Lomax is a travelogue written in the late 19th century that captures the allure and splendor of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska for prospective tourists. The book serves as a guide detailing the scenic beauty, historical significance, and opportunities for exploration in these regions, promoting the services of the Union Pacific Railway as a means to access these destinations. At the start of the work, Lomax offers a rich overview of Oregon, detailing its historical exploration and geographical features while emphasizing its suitability as a tourist destination. He describes Portland's growth and charm, highlighting its impressive natural surroundings and the respectable social conditions found there. The opening sets the stage for various excursions available through the Union Pacific Railway, such as trips along the Columbia River, providing readers insights into the numerous cultural and environmental attractions — from stunning waterfalls to mountain views — that await them in Oregon and beyond. The text also hints at legends and anecdotes about the area's native culture, adding a layer of local flavor to the narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
