Description:
Roadside History of Montana goes well beyond cowboy ì
stories to tell of the struggles of dryland farmers, the rowdy ì
antics of mining-town denizens, and the heroism of smoke jumpers ì
and park rangers. Author Don Spritzer's love of Montana in all ì
its diversity shines through in each vignette as he introduces ì
readers to Montana's independent, adventurous, and often ì
eccentric people. Readers will learn surprising facts about the ì
Treasure State's past and meet its most fascinating people, from ì
the copper kings of Butte to the Freemen of Garfield County.
Dividing the state into six geographical-historical areas, ì Roadside History of Montana follows main highways to reveal the ì stories hidden within the vast Montana landscape, delighting ì readers with lively anecdotes along the way. Spritzer speaks of ì each little town and crossroad with the intimacy of someone who's ì been there-and indeed he has. Accentuating the text are 170 ì historical photographs and numerous maps.
