We Sagebrush Folks tells the experiences of a woman of education, refinement, and culture who went with her husband to plow up wealth in the land under the then new Minidoka Irrigation Project in Southern Idaho. She writes with intelligence, a notable gift for expression, and a considerable interest in and knowledge of economics. An intimate, colorful portrayal of the daily life of the sagebrush farmers and their families, mercilessly truthful, but written with vivacity, cleverness, and humor, full of anecdotes, tales, and incidents that are often amusing, sometimes tragic, but always told with a keen sense of their dramatic values. — Florence Finch Kelly, New York Times Book Review

Colorado, and Nebraska from 1864-1870.

There are two sides to these violent events, and, while the focus is on the Euro- American perspective, the contrary perspective of the Native American is also presented. Broome relies on primary-source documents usually ignored by other authors, but more than that, he carefully sorts out all documents relating to each chapter, while carefully applying critical thinking skills to arrive at the truth of each event. Untapped Indian depredation claims housed in Washington, DC give the reader a deeper understanding of the terrors of Indian raids, especially when experienced by new settlers to the region. What emerges represents a bold and new history not found in other published accounts.

Wild Lands

by John McCarthy

Working the Wilderness tells true stories about four men and one woman who established how to work in and be in the wilderness. They were guides for protection of wilderness and for the protectors who followed them. Their lives were immersed in service — to wild land and the American people. They worked for the U.S. Forest Service, centered in the vast Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness of Idaho and Montana. Three were active before and after the Wilderness Act of 1964. The younger two came in at the beginning of the modern wilderness era. They all adapted skills of the pioneers to the new land designation. Their stories celebrate heroes for the enduring resource of wilderness and point to the future to keep their legacies thriving.

Lucky: The Wit and Wisdom of Governor Phil Batt Introduction and Batt interview by Rod

Gramer

In Lucky, Former Idaho Governor Phil Batt tells us that he lived a “lucky” life, but it took more than luck for his half-century long and distinguished political career. Wisdom and wit and more than a heavy dose of common sense contributed to his success as a legislator, party chair, lieutenant governor and governor. Batt brought a practical, business-like discipline to the Statehouse, but one tempered with a soft heart for Idahoans who needed support: the young, vulnerable, and marginalized.

A Little Dam Problem!

by retired Supreme Court Chief Justice Jim Jones

"A Little Dam Problem reads much like the old wild west stories about fights between land barons who tried to corral all of the available water and keep it out of the hands of homesteaders. Jim Jones documents the highly contentious Swan Falls water rights fight between Idaho Power Company and the State of Idaho over control of the Snake River." –

Hells Heroes: How an unlikely alliance saved Idaho’s Hells Canyon by Chris

Hells Heroes is a story of how Hells Canyon was saved, a story about this place and special people who care about it. "Hells Canyon has epic written all over it. One of the West's great rivers slices through it. The rising bluffs and mountains create one of the deepest gorges on earth. The Seven Devils look down from a height of 7,000 feet above the Snake. But the real epic is in the story of the people who love the place, and of those who worked to save it." – Rick

Johnson, Executive Director, Idaho Conservation League
