The Idaho Cowboy


Book Description

The Idaho Cowboy ... 25 Years Later Twenty-five years ago Dave started photographing the hard-working cowboys of Idaho. When people saw the first Idaho Cowboy calendar and then the resulting book, The Idaho Cowboy, they always wondered why Dave didn't do books and calendars about cowboys in other states first. But Dave lives in Idaho and those cowboys are the ones he knew best. Eventually, Dave produced calendars and books about cowboys from other western states--Texas, Montana, California--but he has always had a special place in his heart for those Idaho cowboys. Idaho may be more famous for its potatoes than its cowboys, but in fact, the state has produced some of the best cowmen and horsemen in the country. It is also a state full of cattle and horse ranches. And some of the most beautiful country and mountains in the world. This book assembles Dave's favorite images from 25 years of photographing Idaho cowboys. The original, The Idaho Cowboy, is a classic collector's book and the one that started it all. This new book celebrates the 25th anniversary edition. And it is sure to become a collector's item in its own right.




Big Trouble


Book Description

Hailed as "toweringly important" (Baltimore Sun), "a work of scrupulous and significant reportage" (E. L. Doctorow), and "an unforgettable historical drama" (Chicago Sun-Times), Big Trouble brings to life the astonishing case that ultimately engaged President Theodore Roosevelt, Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, and the politics and passions of an entire nation at century's turn. After Idaho's former governor is blown up by a bomb at his garden gate at Christmastime 1905, America's most celebrated detective, Pinkerton James McParland, takes over the investigation. His daringly executed plan to kidnap the radical union leader "Big Bill" Haywood from Colorado to stand trial in Idaho sets the stage for a memorable courtroom confrontation between the flamboyant prosecutor, progressive senator William Borah, and the young defender of the dispossessed, Clarence Darrow. Big Trouble captures the tumultuous first decade of the twentieth century, when capital and labor, particularly in the raw, acquisitive West, were pitted against each other in something close to class war. Lukas paints a vivid portrait of a time and place in which actress Ethel Barrymore, baseball phenom Walter Johnson, and editor William Allen White jostled with railroad magnate E. H. Harriman, socialist Eugene V. Debs, gunslinger Charlie Siringo, and Operative 21, the intrepid Pinkerton agent who infiltrated Darrow's defense team. This is a grand narrative of the United States as it charged, full of hope and trepidation, into the twentieth century.
