Specificatii
In 1853, with money in his pocket and elegant clothes in his
saddlebags, a twenty-four-year-old New Englander of aristocratic
Yankee stock toured the territories of California, Oregon,
Washington, and British Columbia. The Canoe and the Saddle recounts
Theodore Winthrop's Northwest tour. A novelized memoir of his
travels, it became a bestseller when it was published shortly after
the author's untimely death in the Civil War. This critical edition
of Winthrop's work, the first in over half a century, offers
readers the original text with a narrative overview of the nature
and culture of the Pacific Northwest and reflections on the
ecological and racial turmoil that gripped the region at the time.
It also provides a fresh perspective on the aesthetic, historical,
cultural, anthropological, social, and environmental contexts in
which Winthrop wrote his sometimes disturbing, sometimes
enlightening, and always riveting account. Whether offering
portraits of Native American culture-in particular, commenting on
the Chinook Jargon-making keen and often prescient observations on
nature, or deploying transcendental, animist, or Hudson River
School aesthetics (likely learned from his friend Frederick
Church), Winthrop develops a clear and compelling picture of a time
and place still resonant and relevant today. Paul J. Lindholdt is
an associate professor of English at Eastern Washington University.
He is the coeditor of Holding Common Ground: The Individual and
Public Lands in the American West and Cascadia Wild: Protecting an
International Ecosystem.
