1835 Knickerbocker 5 403 They [sc. speeches in Congress] are chiefly made up of extracts from the common school collection of lessons for reading and speaking, sprinkled with scraps of dog-Latin, and a sort of patois, called Salt-river roaring.

1835 T. Flint in Athenæum July 511/2 There is, in fact, a well-known rivalry between the collectors of the Downing dialect of New England, and the Crocket or Salt River dialect of the South and West.

1947 J. Conroy Midland Humor p. x The ring-tailed roarers and Salt River screamers of the half-horse and half-alligator breed, both male and female, were ordinarily combinations of physical might and mother wit which enabled them to outsmart invaders from other regions.

b. figurative. In slang phrase to row (someone) up Salt River and variants, to defeat (a political opponent); to overcome, send to oblivion. Also with intransitive vb., to be defeated or overcome, to go to oblivion; to get drunk. Frequently in allusive and proverbial uses. Now rare.The simplest of the numerous explanations offered for this usage is that which connects it with sense 2a; see H. Sperber and J. N. Tidwell in Amer. Speech (1951) XXVI. 241–7.
