Title	Elias Davidson Pierce and The Founding Of Pierce
Description	Part of the reference series from the Idaho State Historical Society about E. D. Pierce (1824-1897) and his prospecting. Instead of searching for gold in country that was reasonably accessible, he became obsessed with the opening of a new mining region in the forbidden lands of the Nez Perce Indians. The obstructions to entering the Clearwater country held him back eight years, but finally in 1860 he broke through the Nez Perce barrier.
