Idaho is amazing in that it has been passed by historically. For instance when you think of famous gold rushes you think of the "Forty Niners" of 1849 at Sutter's Mill in California or the Klondike in Alaska, but Idaho City, Idaho produced more gold than the Klondike and Sutter's Mill combined. In Fact Idaho City funded a major part of the Civil War for the Union and Atlanta, Idaho did the same for the Confederacy. Idaho was the last area in America to be accurately mapped and Idaho may not have the biggest mountains, but we have more mountains than any other state. And one last thing. With the exception of Alaska (which is Idaho's sister state according to James A. Michener) Idaho has more wilderness than any other state in the lower 48 contiguous states. Idaho Facts:

As our population grows, our freedoms dwindle, at least we have their stories to look back upon.
