Boise was founded on the Oregon Trail in 1863; shortly after the opening of Fort Boise; which was built to protect the gold that had recently been discovered in the Boise Basin around Idaho City. By the late 1800s; Boise had a very large downtown infrastructure; and it saw the addition of many multistoried buildings after 1900. In the late 1960s though the 1970s; Boise experienced a major urban renewal project with many of the historic buildings being torn down to make way for a new downtown mall. Since the 1970s; many new buildings have filled in the lots created by the urban renewal. This book will give readers an idea of what Boise once looked like.

Centers around one single day which changed the course of music history. A must read. Cool insight into the day the Beatles began;5 of 7 people found the following review helpful. A must-have for any Beatles fanBy Nancy J. MumfordI bought this book thinking it might be a good addition to my Beatles book collection; but truly not expecting it to have much substance. Surprise! Its one of the best books about the Beatles I have read. The writer weaves all the little facts from that day into a darn good read and I even learned a few things. A good story and well worth the money!1 of 5 people found the following review helpful. For Beatlemaniacs onlyBy A CustomerWell; Ill throw a little water on all these gushing reviews. As I waded through all the minutia details in this book; it struck me that were I not a hard core Beatle devotee I would be bored to tears. But; for all you true Beatlemaniacs out there this book has real value as an addition to your collection. I was especially interested in the few pages at toward the end where Paul plays in front of the Quarrymen and makes such an impression on John.
