After hearing stories of mining, and seeing some of the old ladders leading into the canyon I would like to learn more about the history of Murtaugh. A google search yielded nothing, but brief history, combined with information on how I could pay for a rafting trip (No thanks) Any way if any one knows actual history on the canyon or a website that I can read up on it myself that would be cool.

You can look into the history of irrigation in the Magic Valley. I know there's a lot of literature on that (and, actually, a very ripe area for scholarly pursuit for you budding academics). That would tell you a lot about the use of the Snake River, and its dams and canals in the area.
