Revisiting the 1890 Thanksgiving Proclamation from then current Idaho Gov. George Shoup to future Gov. Frank Steunenberg.
Also posted on Boise and the Treasure Valley History.
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.

Flashback to the Steunenberg home and pieces that still exist today.
Destroyed by fire in 1913, salvaged pieces were made into another home. I posted the previous post from this blog on Boise and the Treasure Valley History.
