The exploration and conquest of the Pacific Northwest is the dominant theme of Land of Giants, a book which (in the words of William O. Douglas) gives one a sense of participation in moulding the manifest destiny of America. English and Spanish seadogs seeking a northwest passage to the Orient were the first comers; then, following Bering's explorations, Russian fur traders descended on the Aleutians. In turn, the Lewis and Clark expedition, the activities of the great fur companies, and Oregon fever spurred on overland traffic westward; and as gold silver, and copper drew thousands more into the new land, railroads and steamship lines grew up to serve the mushrooming settlements. Land of Giants tells also of the tragic squeeze play on the Indians, the rise of the fishing and lumber industries, the development of modern power and reclamation projects, and the struggles of the conservationists to preserve natural resources and wild life.

Reading Land of Giants, we can believe that history trod here, that issues existed, that men schemed and dreamed and struggled, and so the present came to be.--A. B. Guthrie Jr., Saturday Review of Literature.

A well-known Western historian, David Lavender is the author of more than twenty books, among them Bent's Fort, One Man's West, and most recently California: A Bicentennial History and Winner Take All: The Trans-Canada Canoe Trail.

You get what you pay for
Color: 48‘’ Metal Hooks
You should stagger each rail when installing. If you put them in a straight line there’s not enough space to properly use all of the hooks.

Outstanding quality, smart design, and built for real use
Color: 48‘’ Metal Hooks, Color: 48‘’ Metal Hooks
It’s sturdy, well-made, and thoroughly designed. I was so impressed that I decided to get another one and gifted it to a friend, and they love it. The metal rails are thick and solid, and the adjustable hooks are heavy duty with a protective coating that prevents scratches of tools. Everything feels durable and secure. No bending or wobbling, even when loaded with shovels, brakes, brooms, ladders, and other garden tools. The 440 pound capacity is no exaggeration. Installation is pretty straightforward and the flexibility to position. The hooks makes it easy to customize for different tool sizes.

Good product
Size: 11 Holes
Works well for the must part. I ended up buying a different style bit collar stop because the one provided wasn't solid enough for me. Might be a personal preference
