"Ruby and Brown have traced the destruction of a native race and fading fur trade in a book that is well organized and beautifully printed....[They] are to be commended for encompassing in one volume for the general reader the turbulent and tragic history of the Northwest Coast fur trade and the Chinook Indians. Historians will appreciate the extensive bibliography."-- Oregon Historical Quarterly
