We always look back as one year ends and another begins. In today’s video we look way, way back to the late 1800s at the richest discovery of silver and lead in the Idaho Territory.
Videographer John Plummer and mining historian Tom Blanchard take you to Bayhorse –named for a horse that wandered off, stumbling into a bonanza of riches. There you’ll have a look at charcoal kilns, graves surrounded by wooden picket fences and mines bearing such names as Ramshorn, Beardsley, Skylark and Pacific.
