During the 20th century, the Palouse became synonymous with wheat, and the landscape was irrevocably altered with soil erosion problems. This book traces the transformation of the Palouse region of Washington and Idaho from land thought unusable and unproductive to a wealth-generating industrial agricultural paradise.
