  The Coronados
  by Lynna Howard

  Imagine moving to a new country where you know little of the language and few people. Imagine then, the life of Gabriel Coronado, a migrant farmworker who grew up in Mexico, eventually learned some English from his children after the family moved to Idaho, and carved out a living. This riveting account is alive with details from the 1950s and 1960s, and beyond as it follows the Coronados, the first Hispanic family to settle permanently in the eastern Idaho town of Shelley.

  by Stephen Lowman

  Caldwell’s downtown train depot is a palpable symbol of the city’s historic role as a base for covered wagon pioneers, railroad businessmen, and later on, a metropolitan hangout for residents of the outlying rural communities.

See how Caldwellites are striving to parlay the city’s historic past into future growth.

Here’s an update on Idaho’s film scene and a list of ingredients needed to meet new challenges.
