Visit of the Shoshone Sparks Early Idaho River Navigation
The steamer Shoshone built at the Boise river mouth in 1866 67 launched a failed navigation venture. It ran Snake river canyon in 1871 72 taking two years to pass and never entered commercial service. The plan linked a fast freight line to a Coluwarbia Umatilla route and wagon portage to Farewell bend, near Aunt Ington, aiming to deliver freight to Shake river points as far as Salmon Falls. The effort proved cheaper and more reliable by wagon, marking Idaho's first upper Snake navigation attempt.
