Idaho Meanderings

This blog contains history, photos, etc. related to Idaho from the late 1800's/early 1900's. My mother, Brenda Steunenberg Richards, was born in ID. Much of it pertains to the assassination of my great grandfather, Gov. Frank Steunenberg, the trial of Bill Haywood & grew out of the 100 year commemorations of those events. Along the way I toss in a bit of the Wild West, old guns, radios, military, etc. Your comments are welcomed. If using my images, please just ASK. Thank you.

11/12/1890 - State of Idaho - Thanksgiving Proclamation - By the Governor

In 1890, Frank Steunenberg had been elected to the first Idaho Legislature. Here is an old memento of that period that has been in the family for almost 120 years now. A proclamation from then Idaho Territorial Governor George L. Shoup to the Honorable Frank Steunenberg (courtesy of John Sr. & Brenda Richards).

"To Hon. F. Steunenberg
With Complements of
Geo L. Shoup
Governor"
