  “John Hamilton’s 2005 & 2011 & 2021 articles provide many misstatements / falsehoods”
  “Geological conditions upstream from the site indicate that at one time the river ran over this reef 130 feet above its present bed, and at that point the waters were backed up about 5 miles and formed a lake about 1 mile.” J.C. Boyle 1913
   "There is a natural rock dam across the river-below Keno, which it is almost impossible for fish to get over. In their effort to do so, thousands of fine salmon are so bruised and spotted by the rocks that they become worthless.” The Evening Herald, a Klamath Falls paper, on September 24, 1908.
   “But the salmon, king of the finny tribes, they had not, for that royal fish ascends the Klamath only to the first rapids below Lower Klamath Lake. Above them there is no deposit of gravel suitable for it to spawn in.” 1877 Tribes of California – Stephen Powers
