A Romance of Idaho Flat
Abigail Scott Duniway
Edited by Debra Shein

To the White Clouds (Paperback)
Idaho's Conservation Saga, 1900-1970
J.M. Neil
In the 1960s, a mining corporation quietly applied to build a road to the base of Castle Peak, located in Idaho’s magnificent and pristine White Clouds mountain range. That simple request, initially publicized by the Forest Service, brought a challenge to the Mining Act of 1872 and ignited a controversy that stirred a nation and quite possibly determined the results in Idaho’s race for governor in 1970.

Wild to the Last (Paperback)
Environmental Conflict in the Clearwater Country
Charles Pezeshki
One of the last blocks of unprotected wild country left in the Lower 48, the Clearwater Country in north-central Idaho “is a small place to save,” writes Charles Pezeshki. Serving as advocate as he chronicles this land and the people involved in efforts to preserve it, Pezeshki introduces us not only to a spectacular country, but also to the ordinary folks who labor against enormous odds to save it for posterity.
