Summary

[edit]
Description

Man-cause wildfire at Cabin Creek on Big Creek, a tributary of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. In 1879 during the Sheepeater Campaign, Henry Catley’s command camped at this location and then retreated up the ridgeline behind the smoke. Vinegar Hill, where they were engaged by the Sheepeaters, is visible on the ridgeline. Later this was the homestead of the Caswell Brothers who found gold at Thunder Mountain. Today there is a Forest Service administrative building at this location that was one of the Caswells’ original cabins from the 1890s. Location: Krassel Ranger District – Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. Photo by Gayle Dixon, July 31, 2008.
