Uploaded some new cigarette cases to eBay tonight, including this'n featuring Thomas Moran's "Shoshone Falls on the Snake River." Moran painted this scene in 1900, just a few years before the waters of the Snake would be diverted to irrigating the deserts of southern Idaho. We can only imagine the thunderous fury of the falls as they were then...back when they were known as "The Niagara of the West." If you visit the Shoshone Falls now you might wonder what all the excitement was about.
