Territorial Sunday Laws in Lewiston Seen as Futile
A 1863 Idaho territorial session in Lewiston enacted blue laws restricting Sundays to worship and limited amusements. The measure aimed to curb playhouses and games of chance, with fines from 30 to 250 dollars, yet enforcement was unlikely given miners’ reliance on Sunday town trips. Local notes mention residents and visitors across Thatcher, Grace, Preston, and Logan areas.
