On July 3, 1890, Idaho entered the Union as the 43rd state.

The word Idaho is derived from the Shoshone Ee-Da-How,
referring possibly to the ubiquitous purple flowers of the
area, but also translated as “gem of the mountains” or
“behold the sun coming down the mountain.”

Idaho was originally part of the vast northwest Oregon, or
Columbia River, country claimed by Spain, Russia, Great
Britain, and the United States.

(FOXNEWS) – A nonprofit group of cold case crime investigators
believes it has located a site in Milwaukee where former Teamsters 
Union President Jimmy Hoffa is buried.

The Case Breakers said a "a dying police sergeant’s scribbled instructions on an ace of spades" playing card helped lead
their yearslong investigation to the old site of Milwaukee County
Stadium in Wisconsin, according to a Wednesday press release.

The alleged burial site is next to the current Milwaukee Brewers
stadium, American Family Field (below) where they believe Hoffa’s
body lies in a spot under where the demolished stadium’s third-
base line previously stood.
