Williams is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the breathtaking landscape surrounding the Columbia River, particularly focusing on the magnificent snow-capped mountains of Mount Hood, Mount Adams, and Mount St. Helens. The author seeks to impart a deeper appreciation for the beauty and history of this region, emphasizing the geological and mythical significance of these powerful natural landmarks. The opening of the book begins with a foreword, in which Williams expresses his intent to shine a light on the often-overlooked peaks guarding the Columbia River. He recounts the majesty observed from Cloud Cap Inn, where he describes a stunning sunrise revealing the mountainous landscape shrouded in mist and the play of light over the forests and valleys below. Williams intertwines his vivid observations of the geological features and historical accounts of the region with Native American legends. He crafts a narrative that combines nature, mythology, and history, inviting readers to connect with the land's past while appreciating its present beauty.
