Coeur d'Alene

City in northwestern Idaho, USA, at the northern end of Coeur d'Alene Lake where the Spokane River flows from it, 51 km/32 mi east of Spokane, Washington; seat of Kootenai County; population (2000) 34,500. A trade and processing centre for an agricultural, mining, and lumbering area, tourism is also an economic mainstay of the city.

Coeur d'Alene was the site of the Army's Fort Sherman (1879). It developed after lead and silver were discovered (1883) and the railroad arrived (1886).

It is headquarters for Coeur d'Alene National Forest and seat of North Idaho College (1939). A golf resort was completed here in 1992.

And clear across to the Atlantic, the Junta in touch with them all and all of them needing guns, mere adventurers, soldiers of fortune, bandits, disgruntled American union men, socialists, anarchists, rough-necks, Mexican exiles, peons escaped from bondage, whipped miners from the bull-pens of Coeur d'Alene and Colorado who desired only the more vindictively to fight--all the flotsam and jetsam of wild spirits from the madly complicated modern world.
The Night-Born by London, Jack View in context
