Frontier fighters. Frontier fighters. Men and women who broke new trails in the romantic but dangerous Old West. Any tribute which historians of the future will prepare for Idaho must include many chapters dedicated to those men and women

Late in the 19th century Charles welcome attend his wife Lettie were living in the north side of Snake River at your shown falls.

One night after the two had retired they were awakened by a loud rapping at their cabin door. Charles we got Charles. Well Lettie what's the trouble I. Tell me what to do. I'll get you ten o'clock.

Yeah I know. Stay here I'll soon find out who it is. Don't go to the door dear. It's alright I won't open it wide. Yeah, I'm awfully sorry to wake you up this time of the night, sir, but I had to.

Yeah? My name is Bert Perm. I've got about 25 head of cows out here that I've been milking in the wood-dripper country. I need water for them, and I wondered if you'd know the place in Snake River Canyon, with that many cattle could winter.

I'd better get them to water for you, think about putting them in for the winter, eh? Why cow? Well, maybe it sounds silly, but I've been selling milk to the miners. Well, alright, just take your cattle around the hill there and water them in the creek.

And come on back here yourself, we're about to eat. You look pretty tired. Oh, thanks. Well, take me more than 15 minutes. We'll be waiting for you. Charles, you know it's all right to invite him in.
