I consider reading Behind These Mountains to be a must for anyone who wants to know the history of the turn of the century pioneers. The photos of geography and people are some that are not found in other books that I know of. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Behind These Mountains, Volumes I, II and III are a landmark achievement. An incredible picture of the past, and an accurate, interesting chronicle of a whole era and area. Vanek's award (1992 Idaho Writer Of The Year) is richly deserved -- and her fellow writers throughout the State of Idaho are in agreement." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
