Idaho's Wilderness Visionary, Paperback

Legendary Idahoan, Harry Shellworth (1877-1973), is brought to life in this comprehensive look at his legacy of contributions and accomplishments for the state. Shellworth's forty-some years as a land agent with the Boise Payette Lumber Company encompassed friendships with political and historical figures, authors, explorers, and a pack train of memorable characters. His part in the Southern Idaho Timber Protective Association (SITPA), the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), and the Idaho Primitive Area are recounted. An outdoorsman, politician, lobbyist, and conservationist, this is his extraordinary and transcendent story.
