Download or read book Idaho Falls written by William McKeown and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The little-known true story of a mysterious nuclear reactor disaster—years before Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, or Fukushima. Before the Three Mile Island incident or the Chernobyl disaster, the world’s first nuclear reactor meltdown to claim lives happened on US soil. Chronicled here for the first time is the strange tale of SL-1, an experimental military reactor located in Idaho’s Lost River Desert that exploded on the night of January 3, 1961, killing the three crewmembers on duty. Through exclusive interviews with the victims’ families and friends, firsthand accounts from rescue workers and nuclear industry insiders, and extensive research into official documents, journalist William McKeown probes the many questions surrounding this devastating blast that have gone unanswered for decades. From reports of faulty design and mismanagement to incompetent personnel and even rumors of sabotage after a failed love affair, these plausible explanations raise startling new questions about whether the truth was deliberately suppressed to protect the nuclear energy industry.

Book Synopsis Idaho's Salmon River Chronicles by : Gary Lane
Download or read book Idaho's Salmon River Chronicles written by Gary Lane and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does Idaho's Salmon River attract unusual characters to the canyon or does it create them? Providing evidence for both are the experiences recounted by modern day river man Gary Lane, who shares tales of adventure, mishaps, and humor from his more than 40 years of guiding people from a wide variety of backgrounds on trips down the Salmon River. After working as a guide for five years with Martin Litton's famed Grand Canyon Dories, Gary branched off to form his own company, Eclipse Expeditions, which evolved into the present Wapiti River Guides based in Riggins, Idaho. With his unique style, Gary specializes in leading small groups on wild country river trips in Idaho and Oregon, as well guiding hunters and fishermen. While trips usually run smoothly, he has found that the most memorable ones often include some bumps in the road caused by unforeseen circumstances. It is these situations that evoke many of the fascinating stories he tells here. Gary's pre-guiding academic training and work as a wildlife biologist and naturalist give him a unique perspective from which to also offer insights blending scientific truth with native earth wisdom. His expertise helps guests and readers alike leave behind a high-tech world to reconnect with their foundational bonds to nature.

"An impressive publication, long in preparation, deep in its analysis of the relationship of the story-tellers to their setting, its history, to each other. History buff will see unusual slants on historic events in the unadorned narration of children of homesteaders of Idaho. This book has a place in every public library." -Kenneth Clark PhD, University of Indiana "A significant contribution to research into the processes and productions of oral narration. Folklorist Bennett is well equipped to classify and analyze both text and contexts of tales. The materials appear well-organized, well-written and ample illustrated. The beliefs expressed are pleasurable insights into the traditions of informants. Anyone who has floated on or backpacked into the Salmon River ought to like the humor. Parts of the book are really funny." -Dr. Louie Attebury, University of Idaho "Driving thru spots like the Salmon River Valley one wonders about the folks who live in those barren hills. Marjorie Bennett stopped and asked "any good storytellers around here." She turned up 6 women and 4 men willing to share a core of community tales about their barren but beloved territory. Here are the tales in their words, wrapped in her gentle chat with brief analysis of their telling styles. Windy Stories is as engaging as a novel. Storytellers, folklorists, and anyone looking for a good read will enjoy it." -Dr. Margaret Read MacDonald, author of Scipio Storytelling: Talk in a Southern Indiana Community.

Download or read book Snowbound written by Ladd Hamilton and published by Washington State University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riding five horses and leading five more, three young New York men, their guide, and a camp cook entered the untamed vastness of the Bitteroot Mountains. They expected the trip to be the adventure of a lifetime, but it was already September. As the hunters made their way up the Lolo Trail in 1893, they were unaware of the coming record snows that would trigger a cruel, controversial decision. Snowbound is the true story of the Carlin party, whose ill luck and bad judgment drove decent men to an ethical dilemma that intrigued the nation and can still raise an argument wherever people rub shoulders with wilderness. This gripping narrative is the story of a desperate struggle to get out of the mountains with a sick man and of the heroic efforts of various army units to rescue them. Ladd Hamilton has brought rich narrative detail and crackling tension to an intriguing episode in Northwest history. Hamilton gives flesh and bone to his characters, setting the reader down among them as they battle the elements and their own failures, caught between the imprisoning mountains and an unforgiving river.
