4.9/5 (15089 ratings)

Description:Tom Davis and his brother left Illinois in 1861, headed for the mining frontier of the West. Surviving an unusual--and unusually harrowing--journey across Idaho's central mountains, they found themselves looking out for Indians on the banks of the Boise River as they built Boise's first cabin in 1863.Tom found his life partner when Julia McCrum left her parents' home in Galt, Canada, for her own adventure in the West, demonstrating that the "Wander Lust" could infect women just as readily as men. Tom and Julia Davis: Some Good Place, the fifth Idaho history written by Boise historian Susan M. Stacy, tells what happened next--the creation of a city sometimes called an "Eden," business successes, the joys and tragedies of family life. This remarkable couple gave Boise City the land for Julia Davis Park. What were they thinking? Stacy has a pretty good idea, and tells the story of Tom and Julia with compelling detail, sympathy, and insight.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
