Lomax offers an immersive foray into the splendid landscapes and pivotal sights of the Pacific Northwest and the rugged beauty of Alaska. The work stands as a testament to the rich travel literature genre, encapsulating not just the physical grandeur of these regions but the ethos and character of the places captured through a descriptive literary style replete with vivid imagery. Lomax's narrative functions as both an informative guide and as an evocation of the serene and sometimes untamed nature inherent to these locales, a balancing act that stitches cultural context to observed detail, aptly situating the work within the broader literary canvas of travel and exploration narratives of its time.

'Oregon, Washington and Alaska; Sights and Scenes for the Tourist' bridges the gap between a travel guide and literary art, yielding a panorama of experiences sure to inspire the imagination and evoke wanderlust.

E. L. Lomax remains a somewhat enigmatic figure, with scant biographical information available. However, Lomax's legacy is particularly tied to the seminal travel guide, 'Oregon, Washington and Alaska; Sights and Scenes for the Tourist.' Written towards the end of the 19th century, this comprehensive guidebook underscores the beauty and attractions of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, documenting the region's topography, culture, and burgeoning tourist industry. Although not as widely recognized as the literary titans of his era, Lomax's contribution to travel literature is significant for its detailed first-hand descriptions, which served as valuable resources for travelers and enthusiasts of American frontiers. Lomax's literary style is informative yet engaging, combining practicality with the flourishes of a keen observer, richly capturing the landscapes and experiences of late 19th-century America. The guide mirrors the transformative period in American history with the expansion westward, capturing the essence of the land's untamed beauty as it slowly succumbed to the encroaches of civilization. While not much is known about Lomax's life beyond his writing, his work stands as a testament to the adventurous spirit and cultural curiosity of the time. Lomax's dedication to encapsulating the splendors of the American West grants him an indelible place in the annals of travel writing.
