“I have roamed many foreign parts my boys, and many lands have seen. But Columbia is my idol yet, of all the lands she is queen.” -Parson Smith, June 8th, 1886 When trapper Allen (Parson) Smith carved those words into a tree 12 feet this side of the Canadian Border, he was one of the many who traveled great lengths to reap the rewards of the legendary North Cascades. The rewards of those days were pelts, furs, gold, copper, and many other minerals.
