Squaw Élouise (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Squaw Elouise The soft kisses of spring-time winds along the Columbia had melted the last fringe of ice from brooks and rivers, bound so tightly by the winter past; now and then the far thunder of avalanches in the Selkirks beat through the softened air, and told of changes in the snow king's domains up there in high ravines, whose shadows show so soft a violet above the clouds.
