Pioneer Days On The Shadowy St. Joe tells the story of the settlement of one of the most beautiful valleys of the great Northwest. A member of one of the first three pioneer families, the author portrays the rugged but simple life of the first settlers and relates something of the origin and lineage of The Coeur d' Alene Indians who claimed the valley as part of their vast domain. Besides the story of its founding, there is a drawing of the Mission Of The Sacred Heart, the first Catholic mission in Idaho. There are many interesting facts concerning the early day trappers and prospectors who were lured to the valley by furs and gold, and the author narrates the heroic exploits of Captain John Mullan and his crew in the construction of the historic Mullan Road.The book covers, roughly, the period from 1883 to the turn of the century, with some account being given of major events after that date. The development of numerous business enterprises are recorded and there are comments on the friendly mingling of settlers in the social, political, and religious life of the valley. The author depicts the early and laborious attempts at farming, ranching, and dairying; the struggle for roads to supplement the transportation facilities of the many steamers that plied the placid waters of the deep river until the coming of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad.
