Editorial Reviews

Review
This is the first history I stayed up all night reading. -- Nancy Hendricks

Tom McDevitt, author of Ligertown and Idaho's Malad Valley, scores again with Lava, his latest and best work. -- Blake Martin

Product Description
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.
