Clinton Herald, May 21, 1864

Mount Hood, the loftiest mountain in Oregon, has been smoking for a month past,
indicative of an eruption. In 1844, Mount St. Helen, the next highest on the
opposite side of the Columbia River, passed through a violent eruption, during
which its beautiful conical summit was destroyed and its altitude reduced more
than a thousand feet. The whole country for hundreds of miles in every
direction, was thickly strewn with ashes.
