historic preservation at salmon ruins

the salmon family established a homestead near the anasazi ruins --- their house, a bunk house, and root house  are still there, thankfully unrestored ---  they protected the ruins from the diggers that ruined many other anasazi sites in the late 19th and early 20th c --- it was that looting that provoked passage of the antiquities act in 1906

the remains of the salmons' orchard are still there, including century-old apricot trees
