Von der hinteren Coverseite

True Tales from the Gem State's Past--from the midnight theft of the capitalto the Teton Dam flood From the Snake River Plain northward to its jagged mountains, barren foothills, lush farmland, and tree-covered peaks, Idaho is a state that defies easy description. It Happened In Idaho goes behind the scenes to all parts of this remarkable land to tell its story, in short episodes that reveal the intriguing people and events that have shaped the Gem State. - Read about the mistake that led to the founding of Idaho's first town, the mule that struck silver, and the enterprising farmer named Joe who helped make Idaho potatoes famous. - Learn how an Austrian count's quest and a chance meeting over a beer led Sun Valley to become America's first major ski resort. - Ride along with daredevil Evel Knievel as he jumps the Snake River Canyon on a motorcycle.
