This is a small family, whose descendants have spread from coast to coast in the US. The family appears to have first settled in Iowa, after immigrating from York. Its trajectory is not totally clear, but based on the birth places of the children, it appears to have first come to Canada, returned to England, and then came stateside sometime between 1863 and 1867.

    General Notes: LOWER PARROTT CABIN PRESERVATION PROJECT

    Salmon-Challis National Forest staff and volunteers will soon be embarking on a preservation project at the Lower Parrott Cabin at the confluence of Nugget Creek and the Middle Fork Salmon River within the Frank Church \endash River of No Return Wilderness. The Lower Parrott Cabin consists of a small log cabin built around 1917 by Earl King Parrott; "The Hermit of Impassable Canyon." Scheduled for mid-July, the project will stabilize the cabin for the future enjoyment of Middle Fork visitors. The river cobble foundation will be fixed and several deteriorating sill logs will be replaced. In addition, purlins and roof shakes will be reinstalled following the original design of the cabin.

    Earl Parrott's life symbolizes wilderness living and his lower cabin is a popular stop for visitors wishing to embrace the wilderness experience. Johnny Carey and Cort Conley, in their book entitled The Middle Fork and the Sheepeater War, describe Earl as "intelligent and industrious", but also "stubborn, aloof and lacking in humor." He spent 30 years living a solitary existence in the Middle Fork country panning for gold, hunting, trapping and growing his own fruits and vegetables. He would make an annual trip to Shoup for supplies such as salt, matches, tea and bullets for his .30-30 Winchester. Most of the time he lived in a cabin/dugout several thousand feet in elevation above the river where he had an extensive garden. A series of ladders and ropes provided access up the steep canyon walls to his main residence.

    His lower cabin sits immediately adjacent to the Middle Fork. While floating the Middle Fork In 1936, the Hatch-Swain-Frazier expedition reported "a small log structure" and "a tiny shed" just past Nugget Creek. "Inside the small, crude shed the men saw cornmeal, a frying pan and plate, a gold pan and blanket." An entry in Charles Kelly's diary at the time notes "Parrott's cabin on the river is very small but weather tight. Looks like a boar's nest." Earl died in 1944 and is buried in the Salmon cemetery. Parrott's upper cabin burned in a forest fire in the late 1980s leaving the lower cabin the only surviving architectural feature associated with him in the wilderness.
