Excerpt from Archaeology of the Thompson River Region, British ColumbiaSpences Bridge is situated on Thompson River, twenty-two miles above Lytton, and about one mile below the mouth of Nicola River. At this place Thompson River ¿ows through a narrow valley, about eight hundred feet above sea-level, between steep mountains cut out by its tributaries from the rolling plateau which extends from the Coast Range to the western slope of the Gold Range. The climate is dry, and, except where irrigation is resorted to, vegetation is scanty, but open timber is found in the higher valleys. Cactus, sagebrush, grease wood, and bunch-grass grow on the slopes, and cottonwood-trees border the streams. Great numbers of salmon that ascend Thompson River turn up Nicola River.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
