Download or read book A History of Gold Dredging in Idaho written by Clark C. Spence and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Gold Dredging in Idaho tells the story of a revolution in placer mining—and its subsequent impact on the state of Idaho—from its inception in the early 1880s until its demise in the early 1960s. Idaho was the nation’s fourth-leading producer of dredged gold after 1910 and therefore provides an excellent lens through which to observe the practice and history of gold dredging. Author Clark Spence focuses on the two most important types of dredges in the state—the bucket-line dredge and the dragline dredge—and describes their financing, operation, problems, and effect on the state and environment. These dredges made it possible to work ground previously deemed untouchable because bedrock where gold collected could now be reached. But they were also highly destructive to the environment. As these huge machines floated along, they dumped debris that harmed the streams and destroyed wildlife habitat, eventually prompting state regulations and federal restoration of some of the state’s crippled waterways. Providing a record of Idaho’s dredging history for the first time, this book is a significant contribution to the knowledge and understanding of Western mining, its technology, and its overall development as a major industry of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Historic Firsts of Lewiston Idaho written by Steven D. Branting and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a group of intrepid gold prospectors set up camp at the fork of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers in 1861, they expected to make camp for a night and move on. Instead, they made a town. It was an important--if unintended--accomplishment. And it was only the beginning of a long line of historic firsts for Lewiston, including the first capital, police department, newspaper and post office. Lewiston also boasted the state's first brewery and first vigilante association, both founded in the same year, appropriately enough. Join local historian and lifelong educator Steven D. Branting as he offers the first-ever chronology of unprecedented events, accolades and incidents that shaped Lewiston and Idaho from the city's founding to the present day.

Download or read book Massacre Rocks written by Dave Lundgren and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-17 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the untold story of the devastating consequences of a misdirected federal response to domestic terrorism in the mid-1800s. Idaho's Massacre Rocks State Park is a crime scene, and the identity of the perpetrators of robbery and mass murder at Massacre Rocks has been successfully suppressed since 1862. The truth has been hidden by a well-orchestrated propaganda campaign. Even some modern-day historians have played a pivotal role in hiding what really happened at Massacre Rocks and the surrounding region. Countless emigrants were victims of mass murder, torture and robbery along the Oregon Trail and at Massacre Rocks, and propaganda successfully steered the federal response to innocent Northern Shoshonis at Bear River. The Bear River Massacre of 1863 was the worst massacre of Native Americans in this country's history. This book delves into some current Native American issues within the region of southeast Idaho and Utah, including the use of "redface" and Indian-themed mascots in several Idaho high schools. Pocatello, Idaho, has a distinctly relevant connection to the history of Massacre Rocks. The use of the "Indians" mascot at Pocatello High School illustrates a continuing view of Native Americans that has deep ties with the historical use of Indian themes in America, but also with the Mormon Church. This book traces the influence the Mormon Church had on the common understanding of events that occurred in central Utah and southeast Idaho, from the mid-1800s to today. The suppressed history must be told if there is to be justice. The countless emigrants who were murdered on their way west, and the victims who perished in the Bear River Massacre, deserve to have their stories told. This is a part of their untold story.

Book excerpt: During the depression days of the early 1930s the Jordan family-Len Jordan (later governor of Idaho and a United States senator), his wife Grace, and their three small children-moved to an Idaho sheep ranch in the Snake River gorge just below Hell's Canyon, deepest scratch on the face of North America. "Cut off from the world for months at a time, the Jordans became virtually self-sufficient. Short of cash but long on courage, they raised and preserved their food, made their own soap, and educated their children."-Sterling North, New York World-Telegram "Home Below Hell's Canyon is valuable because it writes a little-known way of life into the national chronicle. We are put in touch with the kind of people who set the country on its feet and in the generations since have kept it there. . . . Primarily it is a book of courage and effort tempered by the warmth of those who trust in goodness and practice it."-Christian Science Monitor "The thrilling story of a modern pioneer family. . . . An intensely human account filled with fun, courage and rich family life."-Seattle Post Intelligencer
