This review is from: River of No Return (Paperback)

Have you ever been on the Salmon River and wondered about the history behind all those beautiful sights everyone takes for granted? Well, now is your chance to find out. River of No Return is a detailed description of the history, dating back to the 1800's, along the entire Idaho Salmon River and its tributaries. The stories of explorers, miners, homesteaders along with their trial & tribulation brings the entire river drainage to life. The actual history behind the river is truly increadible. Being a local Idahoan I had heard some stories of the past, but this book tells of them all and answers many questions. Rafters and hikers who travel down or along the river will be able to truly appreciate the trip because of the detailed mapping and fact gathering done by the authors. I strongly feel that this book is a must for anyone about to travel into that part of God's Country.

This book is a unique guide to the Salmon River, it's history and people. Unlike most travel guides, and because of the subject matter, this guide viable long after it's publication. Highly recommended.

A must read before a trip down the river. Excellent job of giving you a glimpse of the trying times and hardships the canyon had on early homesteaders.
