OWYHEE RIVER. Owyhee County. This is the name which Capt. James Cook gave to the Sandwich Islands in 1778, but the word is now spelled "Hawaii." In 1819 Donald Mackenzie outfitted three Owyhees who were employed by the Hudson Bay Company to trap this stream for beaver during the winter. The Indians found and murdered them, since which time this stream has been called the Owyhee River.
