Palmer, Rosemary GudmundsonChildren's Voices from the Trail: Narratives of the Platte River Road. American Trails Series 20. Spokane, WA: Arthur H. Clark, 2002.

336 p.: ill., map; 25 cm. ISBN 0870623133. LCCN 2001-47474. Includes bibliographical references (p. [303]-326) and index. Accustomed to stories of the daring men and women who settled the early West, one often overlooks the impressions and lives of those other pioneers--the children. Rosemary Palmer attempts to rectify this weakness in the historical perspective with a narrative that examines exclusively the child's viewpoint on the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails from 1841 to the 1869 completion of the transcontinental railroad. The author analyzes diaries, letters, journals, and written reminiscences as well as oral histories collected by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). What the reader discovers is a unique view of life on the trail. Impressions of landscape, parents, food, religion, disease, and friends, as well as enemies, are just some of the topics covered in this narrative. Palmer includes an intriguing chapter entitled "What Young Pioneers Did and Did Not Say." Rosemary Palmer is Assistant Professor, Department of Elementary Education and Specialized Studies, College of Education, at Boise State University.

Reid, John PhillipContested Empire: Peter Skene Ogden and the Snake River  Expeditions. Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 2002.

xiii, 258 p.: ill., maps; 24 cm. ISBN 0806133740. LCCN 2001-52223. Includes bibliographical references (p. [231]-246). The story of Peter Skene Ogden and his fur-gathering expedition of 1824-25 in the Snake River country of Idaho. John Reid offers a different approach to the narrative in that he analyzes the event from a legal perspective. What impact did the rule of law have on the conflict and its resolution among American and British fur traders, and was there a common acceptance by both parties of certain legal parameters in their competition with each other? This volume seeks to answer these questions and, in so doing, to provide insight into Anglo-American interaction in the Pacific Northwest frontier. Idaho author.

Rodgers, Jim, and Tim KullmanFacing Terror: The Government's Response to Contemporary Extremists in America. Lanham, MD: University Press of America, 2002. 

x, 155 p.: ill.; 22 cm. ISBN 0761822143. OCLC 49346877. Includes bibliographical references (p. [143]-152) and index. The events of September 11 and the current international threat of terrorism has, in many cases, relegated domestic violence and extremism to the background of our consciousness. Rodgers and Kullman, however, seek to put this danger into its proper perspective through their scholarly analysis of homegrown extremism. The authors, in a highly informative volume, provide definitions and historical insight into their subject and offer mini case studies of particular terrorist incidents as well as profiles of groups and their leaders. As part of this latter aspect is a discussion of certain individuals associated with the Western region, such as Richard Butler of Idaho and John Trochmann of Montana. The book concludes with a review of governmental reactions to these domestic activities and the authors' suggestions for future responses. Each chapter has a list of possible discussion questions.
