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.

Imprisoned in Paradise: Japanese Internee Road Workers at the World War II Kooskia Internment Camp

Priscilla Wegars
The Kooskia Internment Camp, a unique, virtually forgotten, World War II detention and road building facility, was located on wild and scenic Lochsa River in north central Idaho. Between mid-1943 and mid-1945 the Kooskia camp held an all-male contingent of some 265 so-called “enemy aliens” of Japanese ancestry. Two alien internee doctors, an Italian and later a German, provided medical services; 25 Caucasian employees included several women; and a Japanese American man censored the mail.
Despite having committed no crimes, but suspected of potential sabotage, these noncitizen U.S. residents of Japanese descent had been interned elsewhere in the U.S. following Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. They volunteered for transfer to the Kooskia Internment Camp and received wages for helping construct the Lewis-Clark Highway, now Highway 12. Knowledge of their rights under the 1929 Geneva Convention empowered the Kooskia internees to successfully challenge administrative mistreatment, thereby regaining much of the self-respect they had lost by being so unjustly interned. Here, finally, is their story.
6 x 9, Paperback, 360 pages. Illustrations, bibliography, index.
