    3. Book "In Mountain Shadows; A History of Idaho" by Carlos A. Schwantes, 1996. D NEW 292 pages, INDEXED; An excellent example of the human side of the state of Idaho's history! Reaching back to 1805 when LEWIS and CLARK were among the first white men to enter present-day Idaho, this book describes the Indians of the Great Basin and Plateau and shows how fur traders, missionaries, and overland emigrants defined the land that became a territory in 1863 and, finally a state in 1890. The vigilantism, Indian wars, mining booms and busts, and animosity toward mormons and Chinese immigrants that marked the territory years gave way to more troubles in the early years of statehood; http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=514995763
