May Arkwright Hutton became a rags-to-riches silver millionaire, a suffrage leader and was called by newspaper reporters, "the best-known woman in the northwest." At age 23 she talked 40 young Ohio coal miners into accompanying her to the gold mines in north Idaho where she became a cook. In 1887 she married Levi W. Hutton, a railroad engineer. The couple bought and helped work one-sixteenth of a little mine which became the famed Hercules Mine and eventually netted them over two million dollars. In 1900, before she acquired her fortune, she self-published The Coeur d'Alenes or a Tale of the Modern Inquisition in Idaho; a critical contemporary account of the mining troubles and their aftermath.

A history of the 1883-84 gold rush to what became the Eagle City and Murray area, situated along Prichard Creek in the remote Coeur d'Alene National Forest of northern Idaho. The gold rush drew thousands of fortune seekers and marked the beginning of the internationally renowned Coeur d'Alene Mining District. The book provides a detailed documentation of the gold rush activity, including the hastily built towns and the people involved. Following the gold rush, in what had become the North Side region of the Coeur d'Alene Mining District, active hard-rock mining of primarily lead and zinc commenced. In addition to capturing that aspect of the history, the book discusses the remarkable roles the region played in the formation and preservation of the U.S. Forest Service, the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps, and a burgeoning logging industry that harvested the largest remaining stands of the coveted white pine.

Robert Singletary's book, Coeur d'Alene: Beautiful and Progressive, traces the historical development of Coeur d'Alene from its beginning on the outskirts of Fort Coeur d'Alene in 1878 to a modern and progressive city on the north shore of beautiful Lake Coeur d'Alene by 1990. Meticulously researched and written in a clear and unencumbered style, the author brings together a series of brief narratives that tells the story of Coeur d'Alene's economic, political, social and cultural institutions.

In addition to the story of these institutions and the formation of a functioning city government, a portion of this book, called "PROFILES," gives a brief background and some of the accomplishments of a few people who helped shape the history of Coeur d'Alene.To help bring the story of Coeur d'Alene alive, over 300 photographs from the Museum of North Idaho's photo collection are included in the book.
