Idaho bicentennial book author finds pace of life matters
Utah State University history professor Ross Peterson wrote Idaho’s state history for a bicentennial series. He traveled Idaho to capture its space, mountains, rivers, and people including isolated settlers. He kept a strict 5 AM to 12 AM writing schedule while teaching 480 students, and says he may retire to farming if teaching becomes burdensome.
