Good Times in Old Genesee
The book is now back from the printer and ready to read. It is described as "a short history of and reflections on Genesee, Idaho". The book is about my hometown and how it grew and I grew with it.
The natural history of the Genesee Valley is a large part of this book. Wildlife and Ranching are two of the main subjects as well as the 2 families that settled here and how I am related to both my families and my hometown.
This is an area of the Palouse Hills and the rich soils of that province. Ranching and farming are covered in some detail so that we will not lose the history and details of these ways of life. The Nez Perce nation and its relationship to the Genesee Valley is covered.
Harvesting hay and grain crops on the Ranches is discussed in some detail. Thanks you for reading my blog and May God Bless.

New Book out S00N
Dedication
Thanks are due to my lovely wife, Micky, for her support and encouragements with my writing efforts. She is the one that helps
by cleaning all the seeds out of socks after each day in the field.
Introduction
The Channeled Scablands are a geological feature of the pre-historic ice age flood arising with Lake Missoula and eroding the loess soil
depositions found in parts of current day Eastern Washington and the Northern parts of the State of Idaho.
The top soil erosion with deposition of soil and rocks, evidence of waves from the ancient lake, dry falls at several places in the Scablands
and channel depositions such as Normal Hill in Lewiston, Idaho are all geological evidence of the out pouring of tons and tons of water that
escaped Lake Missoula when the ice dam broke at the end of the last Ice Age.
This book is a rambling effort to point out stories and histories of the people and wildlife that find their homes in the Scablands of Eastern Washington.
And as always, Thanks to all my readers and friends who read this. Gerald Hickman
