[or-roots] MIneral, Idaho

Babe - Wasn't it you that wanted to know more  about the old town of Mineral, 
Idaho?  
 
Maybe you could get this book on Inter-Library Loan.  I found  quite a few 
references to Mineral in the index, and the photos are not  indexed.  The book:  
SAINTS, SINNERS AND SNAKE RIVER SECRETS,  by Lillian Cummings Densley, 
Copyright 1987, Second Printing - 1990.  The  ISBN is 0-9623748-0-6 and it was 
published by THE RECORD-COURIER PRINTERS;  BAKER, OREGON 97814.  I bought this book 
at a nice book store in Baker  years ago.  They've changed the towns name to 
Baker City  now.
 
I didn't find your Pickler name in the index.  I did  find lots of names 
under pictures that were not in the index  and I haven't checked all of them.  
There's a 1929 picture of the  Mineral School facing page 29.  If your family 
lived down by the Snake  River, I'm sure you'd enjoy this book!  Mrs. Densley 
also illustrated the  book with Melvin Whitney's charming original artwork.  
Those were really  rugged folks who lived in that desolate part of Oregon and 
Idaho!  This  book has a handdrawn and labled map that will show you where Mineral 
 was and where the people in the book lived at that time.  Our friend Melvin  
Whitney, wrote in this book:  "When Brownlee Dam went in, it put most of  the 
ranchers out of business....."
