Foundation Years

Cassia County Idaho, The Foundation Years

By Kathleen Hedberg

The history of Cassia County is the history of the real West -- of "cowboys and Indians" and gun fights -- but also the history of cooperation needed to build an economy based on irrigation. Focusing on how Cassia County came to be what it is today, author Kathleen Hedberg describes 120 years of Cassia County's history from the days of the covered wagons through the digging of the deep wells in the mid-twentieth century.

With a PHD in history and the experience of growing up in Cassia County, author Kathleen Hedberg brings professionalism and an insider's view to her historical writing. Her book A Flood Cannot Happen Here won the Idaho Library Association award for 1993 for the best book on Idaho.
