12/20/20251 min read
In The Great Pasture, Ralph Thurston includes an essay on the 1869 trek of the Shoshone tribes from the Boise area to the Fort Hall Reservation over two hundred miles to the west. Though Company H accompanied the Shoshone Bruneau and Boise tribes from western Idaho to Fort Hall for a six week trip, no accounts have yet surfaced regarding events on that movement. These are the men of that troop, so if you have any knowledge of their histories please contact the author. You could add to the history of the Shoshone-Bannock tribes:
