Hudson's Bay--Kalispel [sic] Trail / by Flossie Libra.

This collection consists of Flossie Libra's paper on the history of the east-west trail that ran between Fort Colville on the Columbia River near Kettle Falls and the Pend Oreille River near present Cusick that has become known as the Kalispel Trail. But since many trails could bear this name, it might be more correctly titled Hudson's Bay-Kalispel Trail.
