Stories from Montana's Enduring Frontier (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

At the turn of the twentieth century, Montana
started emerging from its rugged past. Permanent towns and cities, powered by
mining, tourism, and trade, replaced ramshackle outposts. Yet Montana’s
frontier endured, both in remote pockets and in the wider cultural imagination.
The frontier thus played a continuing role in Montanans’ lives, often in
fascinating ways. Author John Clayton has written extensively on these shifts
in Montana history, chronicling the breadth of the frontier’s legacy with this
diverse collection of stories. Explore the remnants of Montana’s frontier
through stories of the Little Bighorn Battlefield, the Beartooth Highway, and
the lost mining camp of Swift Current—and through legendary characters such as
Charlie Russell, Haydie Yates, and “Liver-eating” Johnston.
