Download or read book Wallace Idaho written by Linda L. Beeman and published by . This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part exploration of a mythic, rough-and-tumble mining town of the Old West, part fond memoir of childhood's familiar places, Linda Beeman's Wallace, Idaho is sheer poetic delight. There is a keen, observant eye at work here, and an original mixture of the journalistic, the historical, and the lyric. Wallace is one of those triggering towns that Richard Hugo loved and visited. Beeman's Wallace poems show the uncanny details, forgotten characters, the ravaged traces of Nature after mining with a sure hand and a tenderness which can only come from a native child.

Download or read book The Silver Valley written by and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The descent into Idaho from the Montana border down Lookout Pass on Interstate 90 largely follows the trail Capt. John Mullan blazed over 150 years ago. The Silver Valley is home to Shoshone County's seat, the historic silver-mining city of Wallace, which has been something of a phoenix rising out of the ashes of two great fires. Along with Wallace, the valley encompasses many other small mining towns, such as Mullan, Silverton, Osburn, Kellogg, Smelterville, Pinehurst, and Kingston, with diverse histories that are both humorous and heartbreaking. It also surrounds the Cataldo Mission, Idaho's oldest standing building, built by the Jesuits and the Coeur d'Alene tribe in 1848.

Download or read book Historic Wallace Idaho written by Tony Bamonte and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wallace, Idaho, now on the Register of Historic Places, was founded by Col. William R. Wallace. Like many other Civil War veterans, he followed the western mining booms and joined the 1883 gold rush in what became the world-renowned Coeur d¿Alene Mining District. On May 1, 1884, recognizing the mineral wealth across the divide to the south, he filed a plat for the first town in the heart of the silver mining district, originally named Placer Center. It was nestled in a beautiful valley at the confluence of three creeks and the South Fork of the Coeur d¿Alene River. Despite the town¿s charm and tranquil setting, Wallace was typical of early mining towns. Alcohol flowed as freely as the wealth from the mines. Land and mining claims were jumped with wild abandon. Gambling and prostitution blatantly disregarded the laws. Federal raids to quash crime and vice were nearly as common as labor disputes between union miners and the wealthy mine owners. In an unforeseen series of events, during the author¿s 26-year career in law enforcement in Washington State, three of his most serious cases, all of which made front-page news, tied back to Wallace, the place of his birth. One of the cases resulted in an egregious miscarriage of justice that, nearly 30 years later, still haunts him. Though Bamonte firmly believes most law enforcement officers are honorable, that case reflected horribly on his chosen profession. Injustices were also visited on Col. Wallace in life and in death, including the loss of the Wallace townsite and the desecration of his gravesite. In 2017, as a dedication celebration was being planned in Wallace to install Col. Wallace¿s long-lost headstone in a permanent place of honor, Bamonte was urged to write this book. He seized the opportunity to help restore Col. Wallace¿s reputation and to write the truth about a failure in the justice system that imprisoned an innocent young man until his death while a suspected serial murderer continued to roam free.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Danny Wallace wanted to write about a place so special and so crucial to our existence that it had never before been tackled: the Centre of the Universe. But then he realised that getting there might be a problem, and when he did, there'd probably be nothing much to write about. Until he heard about a manhole cover, on a small street, in a small town, tucked away in a remote part of Idaho. The manhole cover had been declared the Centre of the Universe. The mayor had the science to back it up. The town rejoiced. And the name of the town? Wallace. It was a cosmic coincidence Danny couldn't resist...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his day, theater actor and manager Jack Langrishe (1825-1895) was about as well known in the West as General Grant was in the East. Langrishe provided entertainment to prospectors, miners and their families in Colorado, Montana, South Dakota and Idaho. He followed the expanding frontier from the old Northwest Territory to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and enjoyed his share of luck--he was out of town during the 1871 Chicago Fire, and was traveling through Indian territory at the same time Custer's command was being wiped out a day's ride away. Best known as a gifted comic actor and producer of fine dramas, Langrishe also edited newspapers, was an Idaho state senator and served as a justice of the peace. Here for the first time is the complete story of the father of theater in the West.
Download or read book Uprooted written by Grace Olmstead and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A superior exploration of the consequences of the hollowing out of our agricultural heartlands."—Kirkus Reviews In the tradition of Wendell Berry, a young writer wrestles with what we owe the places we’ve left behind. In the tiny farm town of Emmett, Idaho, there are two kinds of people: those who leave and those who stay. Those who leave go in search of greener pastures, better jobs, and college. Those who stay are left to contend with thinning communities, punishing government farm policy, and environmental decay. Grace Olmstead, now a journalist in Washington, DC, is one who left, and in Uprooted, she examines the heartbreaking consequences of uprooting—for Emmett, and for the greater heartland America. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Uprooted wrestles with the questions of what we owe the places we come from and what we are willing to sacrifice for profit and progress. As part of her own quest to decide whether or not to return to her roots, Olmstead revisits the stories of those who, like her great-grandparents and grandparents, made Emmett a strong community and her childhood idyllic. She looks at the stark realities of farming life today, identifying the government policies and big agriculture practices that make it almost impossible for such towns to survive. And she explores the ranks of Emmett’s newcomers and what growth means for the area’s farming tradition. Avoiding both sentimental devotion to the past and blind faith in progress, Olmstead uncovers ways modern life attacks all of our roots, both metaphorical and literal. She brings readers face to face with the damage and brain drain left in the wake of our pursuit of self-improvement, economic opportunity, and so-called growth. Ultimately, she comes to an uneasy conclusion for herself: one can cultivate habits and practices that promote rootedness wherever one may be, but: some things, once lost, cannot be recovered.
