Secrets of the Magic Valley and Hagerman’s Remarkable Horse
ISBN 9718321-0-2

Black Canyon Communications
Todd Shallat, Editor
In Idaho’s Magic Valley, water transformed a desert into a significant agricultural region. Here fur trappers encountered Snake River Native Americans, Oregon Trail emigrants suffered deprivation and death, miners rushed for placer gold, and an ancestor of the modern horse was found in a world-class fossil trove that would become a national monument site. This richly illustrated, full color book traces Magic Valley life through every facet of the western experience.

Trolley: Boise Valley’s Electric Road
ISBN 9718321-1-0

Black Canyon Communications
Casner and Kiesig
The history of Southwest Idaho’s electric railroad also tells the story of valley life at the beginning of the 20th century. Entertainment, business, school, local politics, even how we buried our dead — all revolved around the remarkable trollies and interurban. These quaint machines in old photographs were powerful engines of change.
Nick Kasner and Valeri Kiesig have given us a warm and nostalgic reminder of those days long ago when life in Idaho’s Treasure Valley focused around the interurban line. Trolley reminds us that our grandparents knew what they were doing when they used a transit system to link our communities.
