In 1885 Swedish immigrant John Leiberg and his companion Carrie staked out a homestead on the south end of Lake Pend Oreille. Join Jack Nisbet for a slide presentation that follows the Leibergs from their vegetable garden and orchard at the lake through festoons of mosses in the Clark Fork Delta, explosions of spring wildflowers in the shrub-steppe of the Columbia Basin, and old growth forests along the spine of the Rocky Mountains.
