Two short videos from Idaho Public Television (if links don't work, search their site directly):

• • St Joe River Country examines this quiet corner of Idaho. Looks at the logging history on the St. Joe. The huge western white pine brought logging companies at the turn of the last century.

  • Silver Valley Rising explores one of the riches silver producing regions in the world. Since the 1880s, the economy and culture of this valley has been intricately linked to mining, both the boom times and the bust and destruction that inevitably followed. This documentary looks at the environmental and social consequences of the mining legacy and the future of this valley.

This booklet on the Snyder Guard Station provides some good historical tid-bits on the Moyie area.

This paper covers the geology visible along I-90. Useful for Clark Fork guides especially.
