Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Idaho is now seen as one of the most intriguing and attractive states in the Union. Any view of the Gem State is likely to be broadened and deepened by this superbly written history of it, In Mountain Shadows. Carlos A. Schwantes illustrates the extent to which Idahoans have always been divided by geography, transportation patterns, religion, and history. Although the state motto should have been "Divided We Stand," as he says in affectionate jest, it is also true that Idahoans come together on some basics—on avoiding crowds and maintaining the good life close to scenic mountains and streams. Schwantes reaches back to 1805, when Lewis and Clark were among the first white men to enter present-day Idaho. He describes the Indians then living in the Great Basin and Plateau, and proceeds through layers of history to show how fur traders, missionaries, and overland emigrants defined the land that became a territory in 1863 and, finally, a state in 1890. The vigilantism, Indian wars, mining booms and busts, and an-imosity toward Mormons and Chinese immigrants that marked the territorial years gave way to more troubles in the early years of statehood: an economic downturn, industrial violence, political protest. The arrival of automobiles promised to end isolation, but the formidable terrain slowed the building of north-south highways, just as it had railroads. Nevertheless, future Idaho would be a product of engineering and witness the coming of irrigation systems and hydroelectric plants. Schwantes brings his history through the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War, noting everyday life, colorful personalities, political and economic cycles, raging controversies, and current trends.

Book excerpt: A Wild and Restless Spirit is a non-fictional account of recorded events in the lives of Gilmore Logan Hays and his son Charles Marshall Hays (and of their family members and other close associates) that relate particularly to the opening of the north and eastern portions of Oregon Country to European settlement. These portions soon became the governmental territories of Washington and Idaho and attained statehood during the focal period of the book, which extends from the mid-1800s through the early 1900s. Throughout their lives Gilmore and Charles were recognized as leaders by their contemporaries and as a result were firsthand observers and often direct participants in events that were key to the initial establishment and early development of the region. In their life times they were witness to most of the main events involved in the initial settling of the Pacific Northwest. In 1852 they made an arduous journey by wagon train along the Oregon Trail to Portland, Oregon and continuing on to the Puget Sound area near Olympia, Washington the following year. Fate and their adventuresome natures positioned them to be active participants in the drama of the founding of Washington and Idaho Territories and their procession into statehood. Other highlights are their participation in the early actions of the Washington and Idaho legislatures and battles with Native American tribes, their involvement in the second wave of gold & silver discoveries following the 1849 gold rush to California, and their role in the founding and development of Silver City, Idaho as a major mining center which for a time exceeded Portland, Oregon in size. This book serves as a prequel to the author¿s two previous books on western history Wilderness Brothers: Prospecting, Horse, Packing, & Homesteading on the Western Frontier and its successor Cabin Creek Chronicle: The History of the Most Remote Ranch in America. In addition, it will be of interest to many others with either a general or professional interest in the finer details of western US history. Illustrated with 37 photographs, 19 of historical vintage, and 3 maps.

Download or read book Hardship to Homeland written by Richard D. Scheuerman and published by Washington State University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hardship to Homeland" recounts Volga Germans' unique story in a saga that stretches from Germany to Russia and across the Atlantic. In 1763, Russian empress Catherine II invited Europeans to immigrate. Colonists became Russian citizens, yet kept their language and culture, founding 104 Volga River communities. By 1871, facing poor economic conditions and an army draft, 100,000 Volga Germans poured into the New World, eventually spreading throughout the Pacific Northwest and influencing agriculture, religion, politics, and social development in their new homeland. First published as "The Volga Germans" in 1985, this revised and expanded edition offers a new introduction and collection of folk stories illustrated by Jim Gerlitz.
