- Summary
- "In An Enduring Legacy, brothers John and Mark Bieter chronicle three generations of Basque presence in Idaho from 1890 to the present, an engaging story that begins with a few solitary sheepherders and follows their evolution into the prominent ethnic community of today.
- Over the century that Basques have been in Idaho, the choices and opportunities of each generation have created a subculture that is neither purely Basque nor purely American, but rather a very distinctive tile in the mosaic of the American immigrant experience."--BOOK JACKET.
