So, I am now working on my second book in a fiction series with the base being Idaho-history. You'll be thrilled to know that Idaho-- Boise and Owyhee county specifically-- has the largest population of Basque peoples outside of Spain. They settled here in the 1860's to take over the sheep herding trade. Many became wealthy and migrated back, but many stayed behind and have imparted a surprisingly diverse and amazing food culture here. Come visit and I will take you on an Idahoan Basque tour!

I did hear about this over there. it blew me away. I hope pintxo culture has made it's presence over there. This would make for an excellent sequel to this story.
