50 years on the Klamath by John C. Boyle 
1982 marked the 50th anniversary for the Boyd family on the Klamath River. The family has continued to visit the camp in almost all of the years between then and today. This book tells many stories and tells of many events and happenings that occurred during these years: the burgeoning growth of the families, the construction of additional cabins at the camp, good fishing years and not so good years, and the varied and interesting experiences of life at the Klamath. Most importantly, this book portrays the incalculable value that spending time with family and friends at a place without electricity, television, phones, computers or other modern distractions provides to both young and old. 59, [8] pages of plates : illustrations, maps (some folded) ; 26 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

Beckoning the bold story of the dawning of Idaho by Rafe Gibbs 
Idaho…it has one of the most colorful pasts of all the last-frontier states, and the color has not faded with the sunsets of yesteryear. Indeed, the bold pioneers who defied the mighty mountains and parched plains in quest of fortune—and new homes—left sharply etched, as if on stone, their marks of rugged individualism. And the only rubbing off has been on the people who live there today. Idaho is well worth knowing, for to know it is not only to understand how the West was won but why it was worth the winning. v, 266 pages, 8 unnumbered leaves of plates : illustrations ; 24 cm CIRC [ 0 ]

Fields & pine trees by Opal Lambert Ross, Kenneth Platt 
Published in 1977 as Local History Paper No. 2 by the Latah County Historical Society. The tide of pioneer settlers that swept into the Palouse Country a hundred years ago came from the west. [. . .] The first lappings of this tide reached Idaho in 1869-70, touching at Pine Creek in the north end of what is now Latah County, at Kennedy Ford and Moscow in the middle, and at Genesee at the south end. The account given by Opal Lambert Ross covers the Pine Creek community. There, on January 1, 1872, Lyman Davenport made the first homestead entry registered in Latah County. [. . .] Mrs. Ross ably tells the story in a microcosmic record of the Pioneer period. Her tracing of each homestead down to its present ownership is a further service to history, as well as a benchmark for possible future study. -The Editor 71 pages : illustrations, maps, portraits ; 29 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

A pioneer gentlewoman in British Columbia the recollections of Susan Allison by Susan Allison, Margaret A. Ormsby 
In 1860, at the age of fourteen, Susan Louisa Moir left England for British Columbia. After settling initially at Hope, she lived briefly in both Victoria and New Westminster, then B.C.’s two most important settlements. Returning to Hope, she helped her mother open the community’s first school, and in 1868 she married John Fall Allison, riding on her honeymoon over the Allison Trail into the unsettled Similkameen Valley. Her record of the voyage, of Victoria, New Westminster, and Hope as they were in the 1860s, and her memories of the isolated but fulfilling life she, her husband, and their fourteen children led in the Similkameen and Okanagan Valleys provide a unique view of the pioneer mind and spirit. There were exciting moments – a horseback journey to Hope through a forest fire that made the Skagit River boil, her husband’s boat nearly crushed by a gigantic ice floe on Lake Okanagan – but setting the tone of the whole account is an abiding natural curiosity and respect for both of her closest neighbours – the Similkameen and Okanagan Indians and the wilderness itself. It is these qualities, expressed in forceful, uncomplicated prose, that make Susan Allison’s Recollections a major addition to Canadian pioneer literature. li, 210 pages, 6 unnumbered leaves of plates : illustrations ; 24 cm CIRC [ 0 ]
