When the bridge of the gods falls, so do a missionary, an Indian prophet, a fierce chief, and his gentle daughter. Set in 1690s prehistoric Oregon, this regional classic was the first fictional work by a Northwest writer to feature Native Americans. It also introduced readers to the region's primal forests, untamed rivers, and volcanic peaks.

Autorenporträt
Frederic Homer Balch (1861-1891) grew up in Goldendale and Lyle, Washington, enamored by prehistoric Indian culture. No place was too remote if he could meet a Klickitat or Willamette elder and absorb their stories and customs. Balch learned Chinook and pioneered the use of geomythology.
