In 1776 Idaho did not exist, yet the victory that resulted from the American Revolution charted a course that literally shaped Idaho. Through the interaction of explorers and Native Americans, farmers and miners, environmentalists and developers, many of the crucial achievements of settling the west were illuminated. Idaho’s unique geography reflects the reality of Revolution era thinkers. Join renowned historian Dr. F. Ross Peterson as he describes why Idaho remains a beacon to the nation.
