A history of the 1883-84 gold rush to what became the Eagle City and Murray area, situated along Prichard Creek in the remote Coeur d'Alene National Forest of northern Idaho. The gold rush drew thousands of fortune seekers and marked the beginning of the internationally renowned Coeur d'Alene Mining District. The book provides a detailed documentation of the gold rush activity, including the hastily built towns and the people involved. Following the gold rush, in what had become the North Side region of the Coeur d'Alene Mining District, active hard-rock mining of primarily lead and zinc commenced. In addition to capturing that aspect of the history, the book discusses the remarkable roles the region played in the formation and preservation of the U.S. Forest Service, the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps, and a burgeoning logging industry that harvested the largest remaining stands of the coveted white pine.

Woodworth-Ney concludes that, in creating the reservation, BIA officials and tribal leaders mapped boundaries not only of territory, but also of tribal identity." "Mapping Identity builds on the growing body of literature that presents a more complex picture of federal policy, native identity, and the creation of Indian reservations in the western United States."--Jacket.

For more than 100 years, the Coeur d' Alene River Basin has been known as "The Silver Valley" for being one of the most productive silver, lead, and zinc mining areas in the United States. Over time, high levels of metals (including lead, arsenic, cadmium, and zinc) were discovered in the local environment and elevated blood lead levels were found in children in communities near the metal-refining and smelter complex. In 1983, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) listed a 21-square mile mining area in northern Idaho as a Superfund site. EPA extended those boundaries in 1998 to include areas throughout the 1500-square mile area Coeur d'Alene River Basin project area. Under Superfund, EPA has developed a plan to clean up the contaminated area that will cost an estimated $359 million over 3 decades-and this effort is only the first step in the cleanup process. Superfund and Mining Megasites: Lessons from Coeur d'Alene River Basin evaluates the issues and concerns that have been raised regarding EPA's decisions about cleaning up the area. The scientific and technical practices used by EPA to make decisions about human health risks at the Coeur d'Alene River Basin Superfund site are generally sound; however, there are substantial concerns regarding environmental protection decisions, particularly dealing with the effectiveness of long-term plans.

Robert Singletary's book, Coeur d'Alene: Beautiful and Progressive, traces the historical development of Coeur d'Alene from its beginning on the outskirts of Fort Coeur d'Alene in 1878 to a modern and progressive city on the north shore of beautiful Lake Coeur d'Alene by 1990. Meticulously researched and written in a clear and unencumbered style, the author brings together a series of brief narratives that tells the story of Coeur d'Alene's economic, political, social and cultural institutions. Included are the development of the city's churches, schools and colleges, medical facilities, timber and other industries, buildings and stores, transportation, the library, the Coeur d'Alene Press, the museum, bands, orchestras and choirs, art galleries, clubs, entertainment, social activities and celebrations. In addition to the story of these institutions and the formation of a functioning city government, a portion of this book, called "PROFILES," gives a brief background and some of the accomplishments of a few people who helped shape the history of Coeur d'Alene.To help bring the story of Coeur d'Alene alive, over 300 photographs from the Museum of North Idaho's photo collection are included in the book.
