Much of the region is also more commonly known as The Inland Northwest. We also mention companies of interest to preppers and survivalists that are located in the American Redoubt region. In today’s column, news of an arrest in the Idaho multiple stabbing murders case. (See the Idaho section.)

And that led me to this segment by Grits Gresham about Sylvan Hart (a.k.a. Buckskin Bill), and visiting Hart’s nearest neighbor, the twice-widowed Frances Wisner. Gresham’s video was for Sports Afield: Homesteading in the Wilderness of Idaho.
