Synopsis
Excerpt from The Quarterly of the Oregon Historical Society, Vol. 20: March, 1919 December, 1919
He appears to have established his trading mission on the Uintah a Short distance above its confluence with the Du Chesne. The fort is said to have been destroyed by the Utah Indians in 1844. The Old trails which in later years became known as the Oregon Trail appear to have joined with the Southern trail in the Bridger bottoms and continued with it to the bend in the Snake river some five miles above where Fort Hall was located. Here the Columbia river trail branched Off and followed the left bank of the Snake to Three Islands, near the present town of Glenn's Ferry, Idaho, where one prong crossed the Snake and followed the mountain slopes to Boise river a Short distance above the city Of Boise as it is today. The other prong continued on the south side of the river and again joined the northern arm, after the latter had re-crossed the Snake at the mouth of the Boise, at a point about six miles South-east of the present town of Vale, Oregon.
It may be pertinent here to observe that early travelers, while they almost invariably availed themselves of these well worn highways in their ubiquitous wanderings through the mountains, encountered trails which existed in countless num bers and which were almost everywhere in evidence. For this reason it was found necessary, wherever possible, to employ Indian guides. How long these pre-historic trails had been in existence before the advent of the white man will be touched upon later.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed historical examination of the region of the United States known as the Snake River. The narrative begins with an expedition along the river in the early 19th century, and the author discusses the political contest that ensued between the United States and Great Britain to determine territory rights. The rivalry, marked by a desire for control of the region's fur trade, led to a series of clashes culminating in a treaty that established the boundary between the two nations. Further chapters explore the region's many pre-historic trails, the influence of the Snake River in the westward expansion of the United States, and tragic massacres of Native American peoples that marred its history. The author's deep research presents a comprehensive understanding of the critical role the Snake River played in shaping the American West. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
