Idaho Wine Country
978-0-87004-479-3

Caxton Press

By Alan Minskoff
Photos by Paul Hosefros
Idaho Wine Country grew out of two friends’ love of wine and mutual curiosity about the growth of new wineries and vineyards in their home state. Other friends might have limited themselves to sharing a bottle of local red every now and then. But writer Alan Minskoff and Paul Hosefros took to the back roads of Idaho for 15 months, interviewing and photographing more than 50 winemakers and grape growers and documenting all stages of grape and wine production. Their book, the first full-length exploration of the state’s emerging wine industry, chronicles an enterprise on the verge of discovery. (((More Info))).

Lewis & Clark's Bittersweet Crossing
ISBN 0-87004-437-0

Caxton Press

Carol MacGregor
When Lewis and Clark reached the Rocky Mountains, in what is now Montana and Idaho, they didn't realize how difficult it would be to cross the rugged peaks the natives called the "Bitterroots." Had it not been for the generosity of the Nez Perce Indians, who inhabited the area west of the mountains, the members of the Corps of Discovery might have perished before completing their mission.
Carol MacGregor tells the story of the expedition, focusing on the struggle to conquer the Bitterroot Range and the interaction of the explorers with the natives.
Beautifully illustrated by artist Gaye Hoopes, this book brings history to life for young readers. The book includes a color map of the expedition route, glossary, list of expedition members and several study questions. More Info.

The Owyhee region of southwest Idaho is one of the truly unique areas in the continental United States.

Today Owyhee Country contains some of the most spectacular, pristine canyonlands in the United States.
Mark Lisk is a nationally-recognized outdoor photographer. He is author or contributor to several books dealing with Idaho’s natural beauty, including Salmon River Country, published by Caxton Press.

Salmon River Country
ISBN 0-87004-441-9

Caxton Press

Photographs by Mark Lisk
Essays by Stephen Stuebner
Idaho’s Salmon River flows through the largest primitive region in the lower 48 states— an area almost the size of the state of Ohio.
Much of Salmon River Country is as primitive as it was 200 years ago when Lewis and Clark explored the river’s headwaters and concluded there had to be an easier route to the Pacific Ocean. Today, however, the “River of No Return” draws visitors from all over the world.
Award-winning photographer Mark Lisk and writer Stephen Stuebner team up to present a colorful view of Salmon River Country and some of the hardy people who live and work along this famous stream.
10x10, Hardcover, 120 full color pages.
