The Dry Creek Chronicles: 19Th Century Idaho Farm Life

The Dry Creek Chronicles offer a window onto the daily lives of Idaho families who owned and worked the land in the Dry Creek Valley and Green Meadow, southwestern Idaho, from 1863 to 1900. Two nineteenth century farming communities, one in the creek valley and one on the floodplain of the Boise River, forged an enduring social bond through marriage and shared economic fortunes in similar environments. Over the course of forty years, however, their destinies diverged: one remained rural for more than 150 years, while the other became a settled part of nearby Boise City. This is the story of the families who created those communities.
