Idaho, the 43rd
state, joined the U.S. in 1890. The state is appropriately shaped like a
logger's boot, and logging as well as mining are big industries in the
state. But the state is probably best known for its potatoes. The state's
name is thought to be an Indian name, Ee-dah-hoe, which means "gem of
the mountains." Idaho has a rugged landscape with some of the largest
unspoiled natural areas in the country. Boise is the capital and the state
flower is the syringa.
