Quotes from Miller on the story of the origin of the name Idaho. Miller
states:
“On my return to Lewiston [after leaving in September1861 to establish an express office] I wrote a letter containing a brief account of our trip and of the mines, and it was published in one of the Oregon papers, which one I have now forgotten. In that account I often mentioned E-dah-hoe, but spelt it Idaho, leaving the pronunciation unmarked by any diacritical signs. So that perhaps I may have been the first to give it its present spelling, but I certainly did not originate the word” (88)
