Fact About the Day:

On July 3, 1890, Idaho became the forty-third state admitted to the Union. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were the very first white men to travel through what would become known as Idaho. In 1805 the pair were searching for a route over the Rocky Mountains that would take them to the Columbia River. They were helped by the Shoshone Indians and their horses.
