Translated from 'Nordmændene i Amerika' by Martin Ulvestad. 1907. Assotin County Rolf Aune from Ørkedalsøren was the first Norwegian settler in the vicinity of Clarkston, where there are now a few countrymen. He came there in 1898. This little settlement lies by the Snake River on the Idaho border and not far from Lewiston. There is a post office called Hanson Ferry where it is possible for Norwegians to cross the river. That tells, at least, that the ferry's owner is a Norwegian, something the name also suggests.
