Company Town tells the story of Potlatch, Idaho, a town built on a bend in the Palouse River. It is a gritty, working-class tale of an ordinary place with an unusual past. Potlatch was a company town--a community completely owned by a large lumber company. But Company Town is more than just another community history. It is the story of the Pacific Northwest in microcosm--the exploitation of natural resources; the impact of big business on the development of a rural area; of ordinary people making a place their home.
