	Citation Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Pillars of Hercules on the Columbia River Colored image. Close-in view of the Pillars of Hercules rock formation as seen from the vista of the Columbia River, facing the riverbank. In the foreground is the riverbank where it touches upon a sandy beach. There are two pillars at the riverbank and two that can be seen inland (there may be more), with the beach situated between the pairs. Upon the beach are remnants of trees: stumps, branches and logs, along with a number of wired utility poles. Behind the riverbank is an elevated, level area that may be a road. There are equally distanced posts outlining the level area. In the far background are rising hills covered with fir trees. The pillars are substantial in height; each has patches of green moss over a predominantly gray surface. Title: Pillars of Hercules on the Columbia River Colored image.

	Citation Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Jordan and the Promised Land Year: 1910 Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The Jordan rises west of Mt. Hermon and after spreading out into Lake Mermon and the sea of Galilee, discharges its waters into the Dead Sea, 1292 feet below the level of the Mediterranean. From Lake Mermon to the Dead Sea, which has no outlet and is a body of salt water, the course of the Jordon is below sea level. The Valley of the Jordon the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee occupy a portion of the long narrow depression in the surface of the earth. At the east and west margins of the depression there are great fissures of breaks in the rocks and the land between these fissures has fallen or been drawn in toward the center of the earth. The Jordon varies in width from 30 to 70 yards, but in January and February it over flows its banks and is from a half-mile to two miles wide. The soil in the valley is very rich except near the Dead Sea. In Mid-winter the landscape is green with grass and bright with flowers, but in summer it has the general appearance of a desert."
