A Bibliography for City of Rupert, Minidoka County, Idaho
In the middle and on the edge the Twin Falls region of Idaho by James R. Gentry, College of Southern Idaho, Twin Falls Centennial Commission
Dr. Jim Gentry arrived in Twin Falls in 1969 at the age of 23 to begin teaching history at the College of Southern Idaho. Having lived in five other states, Jim was glad to have found "his home". That love encouraged historical research and an ongoing fastination with local history. This book illustrates a concept that took shape early in Jim's study; that this region was in the middle and on the edge even before Twin Falls was founded in 1904
