IDAHO FALLS - A book signing was held in Idaho Falls today that shares the history of Eastern Idaho's newspapers.

The 'Idaho Falls Post Register,' examines events of the last 125 years through the pages of three Idaho Falls newspapers, he Register, the Times, the Post, and now their modern day successor.

"It's really quiet a different place than it is now then it was a hundred years ago and this book i think illustrates that with interesting captions and a lot of pictures to lend context to history," says William Hathaway.

This is Hathaway's second book on the history of the papers. He also currently works for the Post Register.
