Borah's Bold Train Bluff to Save Two Negroes
Idaho Senator Borah defused a mob in Nampa after a black man shot a guard, leading a secret train mission to the jail. He spoke from a crate, protected the two prisoners, and stormed the jail with deputies to prevent lynching. The town later forgave him for funding the rescue.
