Adventure and high drama in a history that reads like a novel. The story starts in 1810 with the Kentuckians, the first white men in the area, twice robbed and then massacred near Boise, Idaho. There was Boone Helm, the cannibal outlaw that ate his way through the region. The history continues even up to 2000 with a "Shootout" at the Ranch Inn Motel.

About the Author
Tom McDevitt: He went to school, he went to war, he went to jail. He made love, he made money, he made speeches. He fought in the ring, he fought out of the ring. He drank, he smoked, he gambled. He wrote books.
