Bear River Massacre Site
Near Preston Idaho This is the site of one of the most horrific Native American massacres in US history and one of the least known. The Shoshoni tribe would spend winters at this bend of the Bear River because of the natural hot springs (bottom right corner.) They were attacked and nearly wiped out by Col. Conner. I grew up in this area and I am just beginning to learn about this historical place. This photo was taken in late January at about the same time that the massacre occurred.
