Trolley: Boise Valley's Electric Road, 1891-1928 Book

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. H. Brent Coles 9 x 7, 84 pages, 62 photographs and illustrations, map
