Sources, and confusion on dates of rediscovery

[edit]

Now showing as an External link is one National Park Service source, which might be the source for much of original writing of article. Probably it should be used as a footnote reference supporting the particular points it supports.

Also, I edited the article to include mention, from the NRHP text, that the original location of the site had been forgotten since the boom closed in early 1900s, then was rediscovered by 1975 National Park Service survey. However, the NHL was declared by the National Park Service in 1966, per several sources. Something doesn't make sense here. doncram (talk) 23:24, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Secondary sources aggressively misinterpreted what was "rediscovered" in 1975. The site was never forgotten, and has been marked since at least 1929. The NPS survey simply found two buildings long hidden by thick forest when it had been assumed that no structures remained from the log boom era. It's unclear what condition these buildings were in—whether they were actually still standing or just foundation remnants—and no indication of their status now 40 years later. -McGhiever (talk) 02:24, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
