Sun Valley: An Extraordinary History

The best history of the Sun Valley area to hit the shelves in 20 years, this gorgeous coffeetable book captures the glamour of the West's premier ski resort and places its story within the context of the history of the larger American West. As author Wendolyn Holland notes in her introduction, Sun Valley is an American fantasy, of skiers flashing through deep powder... of nights in front of a crackling fire-of a world apart. This thoroughly researched history looks behind the fantasy to reveal a remarkable place and the people who helped make it extraordinary. Sumptuously produced, Sun Valley features vintage maps and more than 300 historic photos.
