Moose Tracks: The secret history of the Jones family in Victor, Idaho

The Jones family settled in the southern end of Teton Valley in 1895, part of the Mormon colonizing movement that settled the West. Nobody knows why they stayed. Maybe the climate suited them. Like their neighbors, they lived off the land and helped build the little town of Victor, Idaho. This book is about them. It’s about surly bastards and mean sons of bitches. If either of those appellations offend you, then don’t read this book. If the killing of grizzlies and the trapping of wolves offend you, then don’t read this book. If you let your dog run loose in the township of Victor in the 1970s, don’t read this book. If you don’t like to laugh and you don’t want to cry, then don’t read this book.
