by John Bradbury
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
The Clearwater River runs deep through northern Idaho’s history. The Nez Perce tribe made its home along the river. Lewis and Clark’s journey west took them through the Clearwater. In fact, the Nez Perce made the expedition’s voyage from the Clearwater River to the Pacific Ocean possible by teaching them how to make dugout canoes from ponderosa pine logs. Fur traders like John Jacob Astor and William Ashley financed the first American commercial activity on the river, bringing trappers to the area and paving the way for the Oregon Trail. Later came the first gold rush, the Nez Perce war, statehood, homesteaders and the beginning of the logging industry. Join author John Bradbury as he recounts a time when native tribes, explorers, trappers, preachers, miners and lumberjacks made a life along the Clearwater, establishing the area for future generations.
