Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.
Before Montana hanged him, Henry Plummer ran the roads out of Lewiston in the early 1860s, when it was the jump-off for the Clearwater and Salmon River diggings. His road agents took gold off packers and stages for two years, and the arithmetic never closed: far more went missing than was ever recovered. Cache stories cling to the old grades and river crossings from Lewiston up toward Pierce.
Old Lewiston-to-diggings roads (Nez Perce country, ID). Source: Plummer and the road agents are documented history; the caches are the lore. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
