  FEATURES

  Vardis Fisher: An Idaho Treasure
  by Bill Ryan

  Perhaps the most notable Idaho writer the state has produced, Vardis Fisher was, by turns, cantankerous, suspicious, and purposely provocative. His novels and newspaper columns, always meticulously written, offered a view into the mind of a very talented, and yet interestingly conflicted, writer of significant and enduring merit.

  Carey—Spotlight City
  by Karen Bossick

  Sitting in the heart of south central Idaho and located adjacent to Craters of the Moon, Carey is a small town with big aspirations. While its economy has always been based on farming and the sheep industry, Carey’s proximity to SunValley and other recreation areas makes it a gateway to the great outdoors.

  June Purcell: Straight Shooter in a Skirt
  by Dean Worbois

  At a time when the idea of women working outside of the home was controversial, June Purcell was competing in shooting events nationwide—often against men—and winning. Her story is one of perseverance, grace, courage, and character, all wrapped up inside a personality that is a true Idaho original.
