NBC Television’s Willie Geist introduces a story about Wallace that aired on the Sunday Today Show.

Wallace is a place that has long captured the imagination of America’s story tellers. The character of the little town that could and still does has spawned two NY Times best sellers, two multimillion-dollar Holly- wood films, numerous print and broadcast treatments, even an acclaimed Broadway play. Legendary CBS newsman Charles Kuralt was On the Road here. Authors Tim Egan and Greg Olsen wrote on the 1910 Great Fire and the Sunshine Mine Disaster. PBS’s American Experience featured Wallace in a 2014 multi-part documentary, while Idaho Public Television’s Idaho Experience devoted major portions of its 2017 Titans series to the town. Wallace has recently been featured on NBC’s Today Show, Comedy Central and Fox Business News, with pieces in regional TV markets in Boise and Spokane along with coverage in the NY Times and Washington Post.

Coeur d’alene riVer at Cataldo

Seeing North Idaho through the eyes of late photographer John Darrrington, the photo artist who crafted these images and many others. A seasoned hard rock miner, John possesed the toughness and strength common among those who work miles underground. He also had a gentle spirit and unmatched knack for capturing the beauty around him. A humble man, he most likely would have been embarassed by this tribute and that his work will be celebrated this year at Wallace’s Fall for History Festival, part of the chamber’s salute to miners and mining. Thanks for these images John, and rest in peace --Editor.
