Deep in Idaho, alongside the lower Salmon River, lies Cooper's Ferry. But it hides a secret - it's old, older than the Americas themselves. For over a millennium before Clovis folks showed up, this was a happening place. That's what the bones and sharp things say. Archaeologists dug, and dug some more, unearthing spear points - the oldest in the Americas, if they're right. A humble, dusty spot by the river - the first humans' stage for living, hunting, dying. Some still mutter these findings are too old, too nuts to be true. But what do they know?
