Description: 48-page booklet with dark blue covers. The front cover has "Astoria" in large white letters on the top edge, and the words "Clatsop County Oregon" in smaller font below it. Next, there is a rectangular photo of the harbor and ships. At the bottom of the front cover is a picture of a fisherman carrying a large salmon on his back, and a red buoy that says, "Astoria: Gateway to the Columbia Empire" on it. The back cover has the same wording as the front cover, but the illustrations are of loggers standing in front of downed trees, and a large field of crops. Size: 6" x 9".
