Jody Seay talks with John Laursen and Terry Toedtemeier about their book "Wild Beauty: Photographs of the Columbia River Gorge, 1867-1957." Published by Oregon State University Press, "Wild Beauty" represents, in the words of one reviewer, 'a culmination of decades of research, exhibition, and total immersion in the geology, history, and photography of the Columbia River Gorge.' "Wild Beauty" begins in 1867 with images by the legendary Carleton Watkins, creator of some of the greatest landscape photographs of the nineteenth century. The volume ends in 1957 with the completion of The Dalles Dam, which drowned Celilo Falls and with it the historic site where Indians had fished for millennia.
