The Salmon River! Idaho Recorder, November 5, 1887.
Through the month of September and early October, Nathaniel Turner, whose pen name was Driftwood wrote a five part series entitled, Salmon River. He opens the beginning of his first installment writing, “From this town to Shoup the Salmon river and the country bordering along its course, back to the main range of mountains, is pretty well known to nearly every body in the county. But from Shoup on down it is not so well known, and that knowledge is confined to but few. As I spent three years of my life on the Salmon river from Shoup down, prosecuting my studies: mining and semi-occasionally communicating with The Recorder, possibly I may be better acquainted with the river and the country adjacent to it, than many others that have passed casually over it.”
