Boise, the Idaho capital, is the subject here, and the 1909 date places the view in a city growing quickly a couple of decades after Idaho's 1890 statehood. Boise had developed into a commercial center on the Boise River, connected to rail lines since the 1880s, and the new state capitol was going up during these years, a sign of civic ambition in a young western city. The record offers few particulars about this view, so its main value lies in documenting the streets, buildings and daily life of a place in transition during the Progressive Era.
