As an aside, Ive backpacked and bicycled throughout Northern Idaho and I think its about the most beautiful place in the world. Ive been to a few places in Europe and Asia but havent seen anything like North Idaho. I could have missed something though. An interesting point is that no one really knows where the name "Idaho" came from. From Wikipedia: "The exact origin of the name remains a mystery.[10] In the early 1860s, when the United States Congress was considering organizing a new territory in the Rocky Mountains, eccentric lobbyist George M. Willing suggested the name "Idaho", which he claimed was derived from a Shoshone language term meaning "the sun comes from the mountains" or "gem of the mountains". Willing later claimed that he had simply invented the name.[11][12] Congress ultimately decided to name the area Colorado Territory when it was created in February 1861. Thinking they would get a jump on the name, locals named a community in Colorado "Idaho Springs". However, the name "Idaho" did not fall into obscurity. The same year Congress created Colorado Territory, a county called Idaho County was created in eastern Washington Territory. The county was named after a steamship named Idaho, which was launched on the Columbia River in 1860. It is unclear whether the steamship was named before or after Willing's claim was revealed. Regardless, a portion of Washington Territory, including Idaho County, was used to create Idaho Territory in 1863.[13] Despite this lack of evidence for the origin of the name, many textbooks well into the 20th century repeated as fact Willing's account that the name "Idaho" derived from the Shoshone term "ee-da-how". - -Steve From: JMDL Digest To: joni-digest@smoe.org Sent: Saturday, August 15, 2015 3:27 PM Subject: JMDL Digest V2015 #431 JMDL DigestB B B B Saturday, August 15 2015B B B B Volume 2015 : Number 431 ========== TOPICS and authors in this Digest: - -------- B RE: You say idaho, I say Iowa njcB B B B B B B B B B B [lcs4bike@yahoo.com] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2015 17:25:22 -0500 From: lcs4bike@yahoo.com Subject: RE: You say idaho, I say Iowa njc From: C S Mitchell Subject: Ho.B Keokuk, Idaho.
