On June 17, 1902, Pocatello experienced a land rush like the famous Oklahoma land run of April 22, 1889. How it came about, and the politics and federal actions involved were unique to this valley. In addition to the land run, there are other little-known events, memorials or structures that preserve or characterize the history of our town. The evidence is all around and provides visual footnotes to that story.
