Grace cooked on a simple wood stove for her husband and three children, and dozens of smelly sheephands.
The Jordans sold the ranch in 1943, and it passed through several owners.
In the 1970s, the U.S. Forest Service rejected proposals to dam the Snake River to provide hydroelectric power and irrigation to nearby towns.
Instead, it established the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, restoring the Jordans’ ranch buildings as a museum and creating a spot where rafters could stop and picnic.
But there are only two ways to reach it, even today: by raft down the Snake, or on foot or horseback along a narrow, precipitous trail.
Those who go there are reminded that there’ll be no cellphone service or Internet connection. Now that, in this day and age, is a hardship.
