Jon's Writing in Idaho Magazine

I had the good fortune to be able to write a feature in the June issue of Idaho Magazine about Richard "Two Gun" Hart. Hart was a lawman, busting up bootleggers in the wilds of Idaho during Prohibition. Funny thing, though. His brother was one of the most notorious men alive during Prohibition - Al Capone.

Go to your favorite independent bookstore and look for the magazine if you'd like. Happy reading!

In the April issue of Idaho Magazine, I write about a bloody miner's strike in 1892. The story is quite interesting, filled with Pinkerton detectives, assassinated governors, and dynamite, and guns, and insurrection, and more guns!

The new issue of Idaho Magazine has a small feature I wrote about the Bear Creek Massacre.

The massacre took place on January 29, 1863, between the US Army and the Shoshone Indians on the Idaho border. The attack was led by Col. Patrick Connor against Shoshone Chief Bear Hunter. With hundreds dead (including at least 90 women and children) it was the worst massacre against Native Americans in our history.
