Recognizing the profit potential, East Coast financial interests, as well as powerful Portland and Puget Sound players battled for economic supremacy on the Palouse. Initially as partners and later as opponents, the Oregon Railway & Navigation Co., Union Pacific, and Northern Pacific Railroad laid rail, invested capital, speculated, and built a remarkable infrastructure that included the Columbia and Palouse Railroad and the competing Spokane & Palouse Railway. Their intense rivalry played a critical role in eastern Washington and northwest Idaho's agricultural and population growth. Based on internal railroad correspondence and documents, and contemporary publications and newspapers, "Wheat Country Railroad" offers the most comprehensive and detailed study ever compiled of the area's late 19th and early 20th century railroading, presenting a unique reference work on railroads in the West and nation during the Gilded Age and beyond.

Wonderful overview of the Bible
Format: Hardcover
I love this book because it gives a thorough overview of the Bible, and it’s easy to understand. I watched the video series that goes with the book, and I enjoyed it so much that I felt I had to get the book. They are both wonderful teachers who make the content easy to understand and remember. They helped me better understand the structure of the Bible.

Very good Bible Study.
Format: Hardcover
I cannot say enough about this book. If you do the readings and assignments it will change your life. I never expected to learn so much. When I hear someone make a reference to a particular character or event in the Bible, I am usually familiar with it. I really feel like I have gained a better understanding of God and what he wants from us. I want to know more. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is seriously interested in learning about our place in God’s Creation. I hope that someone might be able to tell me where to go from here in my journey of discovery.

Awesome Book
Format: Hardcover
This book is enlightening and insightful. It is a Big Picture view of the Bible and shows you how everything ties together in a beautiful picture of the unfailing love God. I have purchased several to give to others and I am currently using it to teach a Lay Pastor class and a small group. A recommended read for everyone.
