What is Bizkaia to Boise : the political journey of an Idaho Basque about?

To students of Idaho history, politics, or Basque heritage, the name Pete T. Cenarrusa and the man himself are icons. The tough-as-nails pilot, sheep man and political infighter embodies the best of a generation-the one some call America's "Greatest Generation"-that prepared the way for Idaho's continuing transformation from a sleepy rural backwater to a state successfully blending traditional values with twenty-first-century progress. "Respect" is among the words most readily used to describe Idahoans' feelings about Cenarrusa, who served the state for more than fifty-two years in the Legislature and as secretary of state. Cenarrusa and his wife Freda became just as well and perhaps even more widely known as tireless advocates for preservation and dissemination of Basque history and culture. They have contributed generously, in every way, to the Cenarrusa Foundation for Basque Culture, downtown Boise's Basque Museum and Cultural Center and many other programs that now are calling card
