Monument to a Mythical Massacre

Almo, ID

An organization named The Sons and Daughters of the Idaho Pioneers paid to have this memorial erected in 1938. The Idaho-shaped stone describes how only five survived of 300 westward-bound immigrants who were ambushed and slaughtered in their circle of wagons (supposedly by a band of Northern Shoshoni). But historians today can't find any 1861 reports or news stories that mention the incident.... it probably never happened.
