Book excerpt: Donald Shannon devoted more than two decades to documenting attacks on emigrant trains on the Oregion and California trails in the region that later became the state of Idaho. In The Boise Massacre on the Oregon Trail, Shannon details attacks that occurred in 1854 and 1859, including the grisly Ward Massacre on the Boise River near present-day Caldwell, Idaho. Shannon's latest book profiles many of the victims of the attacks and the response of the military to the deaths. It also includes material from many emigrant diaries.
