For many years, author Gayle Selisch and her husband ran Middle Fork Rafting Tours, one of the United States’ premier whitewater rafting trips. While out on these tours, they used these wonderful recipes, trying, testing, and enjoying them on Idaho’s Middle Fork of the Salmon River. These recipes highlight the use of the aluminum Dutch oven and are designed to be made primarily over charcoal, but they can also be cooked at home, in any oven. The recipes include breakfast dishes, unique lunch salads, appetizers, dinner entrees, side dishes, and desserts. River history and humor are incorporated among the recipes to add to its charm. From yummy pecan sticky buns to warm beans with herbs, from tomatoes and goat cheese to peppered pork tenderloin with blueberry sauce, there are wonderful, tasty dishes for everyone. The proceeds from the sale of this cookbook will benefit two important nonprofit organizations. The first beneficiary is the Swiftsure Therapeutic Equestrian Center located in Bellevue, Idaho. Therapeutic riding improves the lives of disabled persons. The second beneficiary is the Bald Mountain Rescue Fund, an Idaho organization that assists residents in times of catastrophic injuries.

One of the classic studies of the Great Depression, featuring a new introduction by the author with insights into the economic crises of 1929 and today. In the twenty-five years since its publication, critics and scholars have praised historian Robert McElvaine’s sweeping and authoritative history of the Great Depression as one of the best and most readable studies of the era. Combining clear-eyed insight into the machinations of politicians and economists who struggled to revive the battered economy, personal stories from the average people who were hardest hit by an economic crisis beyond their control, and an evocative depiction of the popular culture of the decade, McElvaine paints an epic picture of an America brought to its knees—but also brought together by people’s widely shared plight. In a new introduction, McElvaine draws striking parallels between the roots of the Great Depression and the economic meltdown that followed in the wake of the credit crisis of 2008. He also examines the resurgence of anti-regulation free market ideology, beginning in the Reagan era, and argues that some economists and politicians revised history and ignored the lessons of the Depression era.
