This is a biography about a Palouse pilot in WWII. He flew b-25's in combat.

"The Palouse region of Eastern Washington and North Idaho produces the highest yields of any wheat-growing district in North America, followed closely by farmlands in the adjoining Walla Walla and Camas Prairie regions. Early farmers clamored for railroads to carry their harvests to world markets, and soon a veritable spider's web of competing rail routes left few corners of the Inland Northwest untouched. Some lines also reached into nearby forests to haul timber to local sawmills and ship out finished lumber. As the principal transporter of people and goods prior to World War II, railroads served an integral role in the communities they served. Despite traffic losses to competing trucks and river barges, railroads still haul considerable grain and wood products tonnage on these lines today. Palouse Rails tells the stories of seven major railroads serving these regions, from their origins to the present day, through the eyes of contemporary railroad photographers. These images capture the railroad equipment, locations, personnel, and operations that, for generations, have connected Inland Northwest's agricultural regions with each other and with the world."

Beautiful panoramic photographs and historical essays about the region around the Palouse River in Washington and Idaho.

`A photographic study of the natural and human landscape of the Palouse region.

Hardcover. Enhanced with spectacular photographs from John Clement, travel through time among the Palouse Country's beauty and expanse, starting with its First Peoples. Depending on the season, the four Plateau Indian tribes dwelled along its rivers, streams, and bunchgrass hills, maintaining an intimate relationship with the land and utilizing its natural bounty until the government forced the majority onto reservations and opened the land to immigration. Native-born Americans and Canadians, Irish and British, Chinese and Japanese, Empire, Volga, and Black Sea Germans, Norwegians, and Swedes all came, and many formed distinct settlements. Most farmed or raised stock, but some built roads and railroads or mined for gold. Chapters covering the various groups depict events that prompted emigration, describe the settlers' transitions and living conditions, chronicle significant people and families, discuss major influences that impacted the population, and recount how the communities grew and changed.

Denied a place on their ancestral lands the original Snake River-Palouse people were forced to scatter, but elders still passed down oral histories. Over three decades, Naxiyamtáma elders--in particular Mary Jim, Andrew George, Gordon Fisher, and Emily Peone--told researchers their stories. All four had ties to Plateau people's leadership families and had lived the ancient way--gathering, hunting and fishing. Multiple themes emerged--spirituality tied to the Creator and environment; a sacred covenant to protect traditional lands; storytelling as a revered art form, and belief in cyclical time and blood memory.River Song captures their distinct Naxiyamtáma perspective.

Centered in the glorious Palouse, a richly fertile area, the small Idaho town of Moscow was once home to the Nez Perce, who introduced the famous spotted Appaloosa horses. The intimate Moscow feel inspired by current residents has persisted since the original homesteaders settled here, a place they called "Paradise Valley." Resisting the anonymity of many rural agricultural towns, Moscow proudly claims an educational, civic, commercial, and cultural reputation far beyond a town of its size, a monument to the people who elevated the community.
