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