Another great Book. Let's support Richard Holm

Bound for the Backcountry II – A History of Airstrips in the Wallowas, Hells Canyon, and the Lower Salmon River



The backcountry of west central Idaho and eastern Oregon has some of the better winter and spring flying opportunities found anywhere in the Northwest. For the first time a comprehensive history of more than forty of the isolated airstrips in the region has been compiled, detailing the construction and historical events of each. The book covers the airstrips of the Wallowa Mountains (Eagle Cap Wilderness), the middle Snake River (Hells Canyon Dam to Cache Creek), and the lower Salmon River (American Bar to the Snake River). Combined with the history of each individual location are interesting stories related to homesteaders, ranchers, runway owners, hunters, river rafters, jet boaters, hikers, pilots, and airplanes. Maps highlight an incredible amount of information and the book includes 250+ black and white photographs. The book is 251 pages, measures 8.5 X 11, and is softbound with a heavy matte finish cover.
