Good read Hardcase
Idaho has a lot of interesting history that’s often overlooked .
There in fact is a lot of Fur trade history here which is in fact where the Owhyee’s got their name from
Fort Hall and Ft Boise are also often mentioned . Fort hall often being called Fort Holly .
Many folks also don’t realize that the White Bird Trail that some of which Miles Chased Joseph and his Walla Wallas across also starts just below Wieser . Runs north along the hells canyon rim and then drops over into the Salmon near Slate creek . Then back north into the clear water before turning east and back south .
a lot of the lands we think as being Shoshone and bannock , especially west of boise up into the payete and Weiser area were in fact Northern Piute . At one time the Piute Rez was here in the payette , Ontario area prior to their removal down to Duck valley in Nevada .
Then we also have the Yakima wars as well as the mining war which you mentioned . Loots and lots of history right here were we live
