PREFACE.


P REPARED by a number of writers, and deriving its information from vari- ous sources, the History of Idaho is now submitted to the reader for his criticism. The compilation covers a long period of years, extending from the epoch of glorious statehood and the dawning of a new century back to the time when the untutored savages roamed at will over the plains and through the mountain fastnesses of this now opulent and attractive region of the great north- west, with none to dispute their dominion. In the collation of subject-matter recourse has been had to divers authorities. These have been numerous, including various histories and historical collections, and implying an almost endless array of papers and documents,-public, private, social and ecclesiastical. That so much matter could be gathered from so many sources and then sifted and assimilated for the production of one single volume without incurring a modicum of errors and inaccuracies, would be too much to expect of any corps of writers, no matter how able they might be as statisticians or skilled as compilers of such works. It is, nevertheless, believed that no inaccuracies of a serious nature can be found to impair the historical value of the book, and it is also further believed that the results of our work will supply the exigent demand which called forth the efforts of the publishers and the editorial staff. Numerous extracts from other volumes and minor compilations, considered authoritative, have been made, with an eye ever single to the historical value of the matter used, while acknowl- edgment must be made to many who have come to our aid by personal contribu- tions and the offering of data otherwise impossible of securing. To many are we indebted for such kindly courtesies and assistance, and with so much accredited authority, even in the face of seemingly insuperable obstacles, the publishers feel confident that a valuable book has been produced,-one whose intrinsic worth will be cumulative and be the more appreciated as time advances.

HISTORY OF IDAHO.


CHAPTER I.


IDAHO, THE GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS .- ORIGIN OF THE NAME.


"K NOW'ST thou that fair land?" As the melody of the ever popular score lilts forth the foregoing query, no one who hears the words and has known aught of Idaho can do other than record at least a mental reply in the affirmative. Wrought in a giant mold; a field upon which Titans might have bat- tled; stern, lofty barricades, unyielding as the granite of the Everlasting will; fastnesses from whose cavernous depths unchanged all time may echo back to time that was; a crown whose jewels are the perpetual snows that challenge the arising sun,-this is Idaho, the "Gem of the Mountains!" And yet all that is expressed in the exalted architecture wrought in ages of the past ; all that the still hidden treasures may reveal; all that has been suffered and been wrought; all in the wealth of legendary lore gained from those whose first was the dominion here,-all these do not and can not stand exponent for the Idaho of to-day, nor for the Idaho of the future.
