Whispers from "Old Genesee," and echoes of the Salmon River by John A. Platt 
Early day history and folklore of the Idaho Panhandle, including Latah, Nez Perce, Idaho and Lewis counties. Preface by the author: "In writing the following pages I have been influenced by a desire to record for our sons and daughters, and their descendants, a written chronicle of the happenings of our lives, together with a mention of certain interesting events which occurred in the vicinity of Genesee during the pioneer days. As these events happened from sixty to seventy-five years ago, there may be some lapse of memory or wrong interpretations. I was only a small boy at the time the earlier events transpired, but they made such a deep impression on my mind that I have never forgotten them. This will not be a complete history – nor a literary masterpiece. It will contain some history, some biography, and perhaps a sprinkling of “blarney.” If the reader, as he peruses these pages, finds amusement, information or entertainment from my efforts, I will feel amply rewarded.” [7], 75, [6],46, [1] pages : illustrations, map, portraits ; 23 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

"The McLoughlin Empire and Its Rulers reveals an amazing record of a lower Canada family of Scotch Protestant and Irish Catholic descent, which produced three remarkably astute and successful persons to guide the family destiny to a high point. Dr. John McLoughlin, trained as a physician, became the Chief Factor in the Columbia District of the Hudson's Bay Company, where he ruled a vast empire in the Northwest. Dr. David McLoughlin, his brother, also educated for a medical career, became a highly successful doctor in Paris, and personal physician to King Louis Philippe. Their sister, Marie Louise, as Sister St. Henry, found her success as the leading teacher and Mother Superior of the great Ursuline Monastery in Quebec, where she remained alert to the affairs of her family, educated her nieces, and aided in solving family problems. The story comes to light for the first time, through the discovery of a fascinating file of family correspondence, preserved by the Fraser family, relatives of the McLoughlins on their maternal side. It discloses a hitherto unknown side of the John McLoughlin saga - his personal finances, his children, his land holdings in the lower St. Lawrence River valley, and his prominent kin, both McLoughlin and Fraser. A carefully researched and well documented account is presented by Dr. Barker."--Publisher's description 370 pages illustrations, color coats of arms, facsimiles, genealogical table, 2 maps (1 folded) portraits 25 cm CIRC [ 1 ]

A ram in the thicket the story of a roaming homesteader family on the Mormon frontier by Frank C. Robertson 
Frank Robertson's hard-edged autobiography about pioneering life in northern and southern Idaho in the 1890s appears in this reprint edition with an introduction by historian Charles S. Peterson, Professor Emeritus at Utah State University and Professor of History at Southern Utah University. Enmeshed in poverty, unremitting toil, and personal conflict, the Robertson family lived first in the wilderness near Moscow, Idaho, then subsequently converted to Mormonism and moved to Chesterfield, Idaho. The family continued to face financial hardships until 1922 when Frank Robertson sold his first short story. From then until his death in 1969, this prolific and popular western writer produced countless short stories and at least 150 books. Robertson's life story is a kind of regional history in itself, and his writing is firmly rooted in those experiences. He worked diligently at his writing, found what would sell, and won great popularity with American and European audiences. With a vigorous resurgence in western regionalism underway, republication of A Ram in the Thicket makes this man's remarkable autobiography available once again to interested readers.The Story of a Roaming Homesteader Family on the Mormon Frontier 311 pages illustrations 22 cm CIRC [ 0 ]
