- The color film, Idaho Wild Natural Resources, is from the film library of the Bureau of Mines, of the United States Dept. of the Interior. The bureau was established in 1910 and continued until 1996. It became part of the Dept. of Interior in 1934. This documentary was made in cooperation with Richfield Oil Corporation of California, which was in business from 1905 to 1966. The film shows the Reactor Testing Station which operated from 1949-1975. It also shows fire trucks from the early 1950’s; therefore, this movie was probably made between 1955 and 1966.

"The River of No Return" has got to be the best-named river in the world.
It really flows.
Have I been pronouncing EE-da-ho incorrectly all my life??
lol . . . . .@17:54 . . . I got a laugh outa the hardhat being worn by the guy, safe in his tower . . . not much is gonna fall on him high up there.
Great video ,i love Idaho
thanks
I wonder how many of these workers end up getting cancer or severely injured. No protective gear whatsoever.
No worse than cigarettes
Nice!
When I was a kid in Idaho dang near everyone skied.
Potatoes. Yes . They should have just sent all the Irish immigrants to here and it would be just like home.
Well, the French trappers and traders were all over there BEFORE Lewis and Clark. Would Americans have named those tribes and places (Nez Perce, Pend Oreille, Coeur D’Alene) with French names AFTER it was bought by the US ? And how did the French own the whole LP before us, anyway ?
I love how they named the state after Ida the call girl.
I’m in Hayden Idaho.
zinc come back zinc
Idaho! Gateway to Oregon!
No one wants to go to Oregon
Why
@@COBYJ10 I heard a rumor that Idaho does not in fact exist
gateway to hell?
great vid, hard to believe how not so long ago this thievery occurred ;)
Who stole what? The video said the land was bought but maybe I missed something. 😔
lol . . . 3 cents an acre was paid, an honest sale, not thievery. The French have never been known for a high level of intelligence . . . . lol . . . you must be sore that this is further proof of that ;)
France sold this because Napolean knew that he couldn't maintain a territory in the United States while fighting all his wars across Europe. It was a pragmatic choice. Not thievery. Unless you mean from the Indians but then they just got conquered. Like they were doing to each other for thousands of years before any white person set foot on north america
Thievery? Please explain.
