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.

Mom and that's me under construction.
John (me) and my mom, Brenda Steunenberg Richards, circa 1951, in Pacoima, CA...well you can sorta see me. The valley (Pacoima, Van Nuys, Glendale, etc.) wasn't such a bad place in the 1950's. Parts of it were not so great in later years. It would not be long after this picture that I would be born at Glendale Hospital. We left the valley in 1960 to head up the road to a small, mostly one street and Jungleland town called Thousand Oaks ("T.O."). Not so small these days.
