Additional Details

An impressive and well preserved bird's eye view of the town which takes its name from the Spokane people, native inhabitants of the land. Regional mining and the arrival of railroads in the years just prior to this publication led to the ballooning of the local population and growth of the city, seen here as a thriving commercial center of the west.
