Content DescriptionReturn to Top
Eighteen 10"x14" labeled prints of steamboats and scenes in Lewiston area. Includes boiler explosions, and troops bound for Spanish-American War. These appear to have been printed by the Wilkin Photo Service Lewiston, Idaho, in 1979 from originals taken between 1890 and 1922. The originals had belonged to Lloyd Bounds of Richland, who had found them in a trunk. The images document the fleet of steamboats that early in the century serviced the Snake River around Lewiston, Idaho.
