""The Occurrence And Wider Implications Of A Ghost Cult On The Columbia River, Suggested By Carvings In Wood, Bone And Stone"" by William Duncan Strong is a detailed exploration of the existence and impact of a ghost cult in the Columbia River region of North America. The book examines the various forms of material culture left behind by this ghost cult, including carvings in wood, bone, and stone, and analyzes their significance in understanding the beliefs and practices of the cult. Strong delves into the possible origins of the cult and its relationship to other religious traditions in the region, as well as its broader implications for our understanding of pre-Columbian North American societies.
