On the last leg of their journey, the Astorians find the natives friendly and helpful. At last they come upon a valley that will serve as the site for the new trading post; Fort Okanogan.  
 
Lesson 3.1: The Naming of Priest Rapids
The person who seemed important in all these introductory ceremonies was a tall, thin, middle-aged Indian, who attached himself very closely to us from the first moment we saw him.

Lesson 3.2: Sentinel Gap: Bleak and Barren Country
The country on the east side is one endless rough and barren plain. On the west, the rocks were steep and rugged.

Lesson 3.3: Friendly Natives at Wenatchee
Here the Indians met us in great numbers and vied with each other in acts of kindness.

Lesson 3.4: Three Small Rivers
About ten o'clock we passed a small but rapid stream called by the natives Tsill-ane, which flowed down over the rocks in white broken sheets.

Lesson 3.5: End of the Journey: Establishment of Fort Okanogan
On the south bank of the Oakinacken, half a mile from its mouth, was the site decided upon for the new establishment.
