Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Historical, Descriptive and Commercial Directory of Owyhee County, Idaho: January 1898 The state of Idaho is a portion of that vast territory lying west of the Mississippi river which was acquired by purchase from France, during the administration of President Jefferson, in 1803. In the spring of 1804 an expedition in charge of Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark was organized under the auspices of the United States government, for the purpose of exploring the newly-acquired territory. The expedition started in May, 1804, and wintered on the Missouri river in what is now Montana. On September 11, 1805, they crossed the Bitter Root mountains, and nine days later reached a settlement of the Nez Perce Indians, on Clearwater river. After many days of severe privations and hardships they succeeded in reaching the mouth of the Columbia river on November 14, 1805, where they wintered, and left the following spring for St. Louis, which they reached in safety September, 1806. It is an undisputed fact that the first white man who trod the soil of Idaho was Captain William Clark. The territory being at that time only considered valuable for furs, several fur companies were organized, the first on the field being the Missouri Fur Company, who built Fort Henry, at the headwaters of the Snake river, but shortly afterwards abandoned it.

Book excerpt: The sprawling high desert wilderness of southwestern Idaho was virtually unknown to whites in 1863, when Mike Jordan and a band of placer miners dipped their pans into the creek that bears his name and found gold. The electrifying news spread, and the people came. Towns sprang up overnight on the mountaintops. Some disappeared almost as quickly as they had appeared. "Men needed to work the mines!" cried Idaho's newspapers. The word went out, and the miners came from Nevada, California, Colorado, and across the West. Soon the great mines of War Eagle Mountain rivaled Nevada's fabled Comstock Lode. With the exception of Silver City, one of America's largest intact ghost towns, the boomtowns, as well as the mines, are gone; however, descendants of the miners remain. Owyhee County is the size of Delaware and Connecticut combined--7,679 square miles--with a population of only 11,500. It is a rarely visited land of few roads and fewer people, sagebrush desert, deep basalt canyons, romantic vistas, and mysterious mountains that still hide their gold and silver.

Book excerpt: Legends of the Northern Paiute shares and preserves twenty-one original and previously unpublished Northern Paiute legends, as told by Wilson Wewa, a spiritual leader and oral historian of the Warm Springs Paiute. These legends were originally told around the fires of Paiute camps and villages during the "story-telling season" of winter in the Great Basin of the American West. They were shared with Paiute communities as a way to pass on tribal visions of the "animal people" and the "human people," their origins and values, their spiritual and natural environment, and their culture and daily lives. The legends in this volume were recorded, transcribed, reviewed, and edited by Wilson Wewa and James Gardner. Each legend was recorded, then read and edited out loud, to respect the creativity, warmth, and flow of Paiute storytelling. The stories selected for inclusion include familiar characters from native legends, such as Coyote, as well as intriguing characters unique to the Northern Paiute, such as the creature embodied in the Smith Rock pinnacle, now known as Monkey Face, but known to the Paiutes in Central Oregon as Nuwuzoho the Cannibal. Wewa's apprenticeship to Northern Paiute culture began when he was about six years old. These legends were passed on to him by his grandmother and other tribal elders. They are now made available to future generations of tribal members, and to students, scholars, and readers interested in Wewa's fresh and authentic voice. These legends are best read and appreciated as they were told--out loud, shared with others, and delivered with all of the verve, cadence, creativity, and humor of original Paiute storytellers on those clear, cold winter nights in the high desert.
