In this encampment (called a fort) in the
early fifties Grant, Sherman and Sheridan
all had their earlier experiences in military
life and Indian warfare. Here also lay sick
almost to death that delightful writer, Theo-
dore Winthrop, whose untimely death came
so early in the War of the Rebellion.
The Dalles proper of the Columbia River
is a few miles up river way, where the
river is turned on edge through the narrow
gap of less than one hundred feet in width,
with a channel said to be half a mile in
depth.
The stretch of river shown in the back-
ground is more than a mile in width of
placid water, which continues through the
great gap of the Cascade Mountains to the
Cascade Falls below.
