This book was released on 2019-02-27 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old Towns and Lost CommunitiesOld towns and lost communities described here that are gone now were a part of the early development of the county and have a significant place in our heritage. As the county began to grow all of these towns and communities had different reasons to exist and began to develop or grow as a result of a need or a workplace site. The location of most of the sites were the result of access to a means of transportation whether it be railroad or steamboat. When all of these communities thrived there were no connecting roads.People-Places-MilestonesA Historic Journey Through The Best of Idaho is about mileposts and events that are generally limited to local interests but others will find curious. For example: How did transportation systems evolve in a primitive area? What was the early education system? When did electricity first arrive in Kootenai County? Why were work place settlements necessary? These and many other seldom reviewed facts can be found here.###Jim's knowledge of local history does not come from casual conversations or from newspapers but as an earnest scholar. He has the academic qualifications, the knowledge and perhaps (most importantly) the passion for history and historic preservation. You will find no better fit. Mark M.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. While Idaho is well known for its potatoes, this WPA Guide introduces readers to many other facets of life in this Pacific Northwestern state. The first installment of the American Guide Series to be published, the guide documents the young state’s response to the Great Depression by reinvigorating its science, technology, and agriculture industries. Natural elements of the Gem State are recognized, as well as the rich history of the American Indians in the area. Great photography and detailed histories enhance this historically significant guide.
