Connor, Idaho

Connor is an unincorporated community in Cassia County, Idaho, United States,[1] along Idaho State Highway 77, about 7.5 miles (12.1 km) west of Malta.

Connor, who was stationed at Camp Douglas, Utah, ordered Captain Samuel P. Smith to attack Indians in Idaho.

[3] This massacre was considered retaliation for an alleged battle three years prior in nearby Almo Creek, where Indians killed almost 300 emigrants who were moving through the area.

[4] However, James Loewen points out in "Lies Across America" that decades of research has led to no indication that any emigrants were killed in the Almo area.

[5] Connor is a part of the Cassia County School District.
