IDAHO LORE

By

Pub Date: Dec. 1st, 1939
Publisher: Caxton

Utterly different from any of the other Federal Writers Projects (dealing with states). Instead of being a state history and glorified travel book, this is carved out of the folk lore and the human background of the state. Hearsay, tall tales, old newspaper files (Boise News and Idaho World), songs, dances, old records -- these all go to form this record of Americana in the making.
