Title	Historical Markers - Goddin's River
Subject (AAT)	markers signs explorers fur
Description	Known as Goddin's River in the days of the fur trade. This stream originally was named for the trapper who discovered it. Thery Goddin, a prominent Iroquois who explored this river in 1819 or 1820, had come here with Donald Mackenzie's fur hunters who worked for the North West Company of Montreal. Well stocked with beaver until it was trapped out in 1824, Goddin's River offered a wealth of furs to early trappers. Then after the fur trade was over, the river's original name was forgotten. Later settlers called it Lost River because it sinks into the desert lava.
