"The Mountains of Oregon" by W. G. Steel is a descriptive account of the natural wonders and adventures associated with the mountain ranges of Oregon, written in the late 19th century. In this work, the author documents various significant locations and experiences, including notable peaks like Mount Hood and Crater Lake, emphasizing their beauty and the challenges encountered during exploration. The narrative combines scientific observations with rich storytelling, offering a glimpse into the mounting interest in outdoor adventures and nature during this period. At the start of the text, the author explains his motivation for writing the book, which stems from a desire to collate and preserve information about Oregon's majestic landscapes often found in newspapers but nowhere collected. He introduces his plan to illuminate Mount Hood using red fire, recounting the preparations and trials faced by his party during the ascent. The opening reveals a blend of excitement and camaraderie among the climbers as they overcome various obstacles, highlighting both the harshness and beauty of the mountainous terrain. Through vivid descriptions, Steel invites readers to appreciate the grandeur of Oregon's natural wonders while sharing both the struggles and triumphs of the exploration journey.
