Download or read book Chasing Montana written by Lori Soderlind and published by Terrace Books. This book was released on 2006-04-20 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lori, the heroine of this rousing narrative, is attempting to flee the hectic East Coast for a better life in the West. She is a child of the Seventies who feels misled by the rebellious "boomer" generation and disappointed with life in 1980s New Jersey. Spurred by the tale of her pioneering grandparents, who immigrated to Montana, and following her friend Madeleine, who has all the answers, Lori quits her job, loosens her ties, and sets off into a wild frontier. Lori's story is one of love for people and for places that are more mythic than real. Her pursuit is as painfully familiar as it is impossible: she seeks meaning in life while working dead-end jobs, falls in love with uninterested partners, and plans a future that seems doomed from the start. Somehow, though, she persists and ultimately finds her place as a twenty-first-century pioneer.
Book Synopsis Treasure State Tycoon by : John C. Russell
Download or read book Treasure State Tycoon written by John C. Russell and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treasure State Tycoon recounts the remarkable life of Nelson G. Story, a colorful and contradictory figure whose influence on Montana's development was profound and rivaled by few others in its history. After striking it rich in gold fields of Alder Gulch, Story drove the first herd of cattle from Texas to the territory that would become the Treasure State and went on to build a commercial empire of diverse interests, the success of which relied both on his determination and ingenuity as well as his penchant for fraud and deceit. Story's reputation for ruthlessness in both personal and professional conduct was well earned, but he was also a generous philanthropist, supporting local churches, schools, and other civic improvements. He tirelessly promoted the upstart community of Bozeman, playing a central role in the establishment of the Montana State College of Mechanical and Agricultural Arts--today's Montana State University. Like other political and business leaders of his time, Nelson Story left behind a legacy rife with paradoxes that gave shape to life in Montana and continues to resonate in the contested mythology of the American West.

Book excerpt: It's been a long, hard year, but single mother Anna is finally putting the past, and her cheating ex-husband behind her and is finally ready to dip her toes in the dating pool again. Her best friend, Isabella, gets the ball rolling by placing a personal ad on her behalf and screening the men who write and forwarding on the few she considers worthy. Though taken aback by this at first, Anna concedes that if not for Isabella's meddling, she probably wouldn't have taken the necessary steps to get out there. So much easier to just stay home with her good friends Ben and Jerry. Things really get interesting when Isabella's match-making goes into high gear and she arranges for businessman Zachary Shelton to rent the house next-door to Anna. Isabella instantly recognized newcomer Zachary as Anna's high school sweetheart who promised her forever, then moved away and was never heard from again. Zach has some explaining to do, but that might be difficult--his memory of those years is gone. He has no idea who Anna is, or why he is so drawn to her. He's also very different from the sensitive young man Anna remembered. This Zach is a hardened businessman, cold and detached and only in Beauville temporarily. The attraction is still there for sure, but does she even like this new Zach?

Download or read book Black Montana written by Anthony W. Wood and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-07 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2022 Stubbendieck Great Plains Distinguished Book Prize Finalist Toward the end of the nineteenth century, many African Americans moved westward as Greater Reconstruction came to a close. Though, along with Euro-Americans, Black settlers appropriated the land of Native Americans, sometimes even contributing to ongoing violence against Indigenous people, this migration often defied the goals of settler states in the American West. In Black Montana Anthony W. Wood explores the entanglements of race, settler colonialism, and the emergence of state and regional identity in the American West during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By producing conditions of social, cultural, and economic precarity that undermined Black Montanans' networks of kinship, community, and financial security, the state of Montana, in its capacity as a settler colony, worked to exclude the Black community that began to form inside its borders after Reconstruction. Black Montana depicts the history of Montana's Black community from 1877 until the 1930s, a period in western American history that represents a significant moment and unique geography in the life of the U.S. settler-colonial project.

Download or read book Yonder written by John Hemingway and published by National Geographic Society. This book was released on 2001 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly 70 years the 36-acre ranch on the West Boulder River Heminway bought in 1987 was known as the Bar 20. When he signed the deed, Heminway was handed the Bar 20's voluminous legal history and wondered if there was more to the place than just a name. Only a handful of acres, the ranch for generations has appeared on many topological maps as a formidable feature, Bar 20 Ranch. YONDER is the story of this improbably named ranch, and documents Heminway's search for the Bar 20's former owners, as critical to Heminway as his own ancestors. In the process he teases apart their reasons for coming, the transience of their dreams, the causes of their leaving, and in the process tells the history of Montana.

As a test, she is assigned a high-profile case involving a beloved Hollywood movie star and an illegal supply of prescription drugs. It doesn't take Ana and her partner, Mike Donnato, long to realize "this is not a case” but “a political situation waiting to explode”—and they're holding the bomb. As the boundary between her private and professional lives begins to blur, Ana's own world collides with her investigation, and she is forced to confront the searing truth about the nature of power and identity, and the mystery of her past.
Book Synopsis The Line which Separates by : Sheila McManus
Download or read book The Line which Separates written by Sheila McManus and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nations are made and unmade at their borders, and the forty-ninth parallel separating Montana and Alberta in the late nineteenth century was a pivotal Western site for both the United States and Canada. Blackfoot country was a key site of Canadian and American efforts to shape their nations and national identities. The region?s landscape, aboriginal people, newcomers, railroads, and ongoing cross-border ties all challenged the governments? efforts to create, colonize, and nationalize the Alberta-Montana borderlands. The Line Which Separates makes an important and useful comparison between American and Canadian government policies and attitudes regarding race, gender, and homesteading. ø Federal visions of the West in general and the borderlands in particular rested on overlapping sets of assumptions about space, race, and gender; those same assumptions would be used to craft the policies that were supposed to turn national visions into local realities. The growth of a white female population in the region, which should have ?whitened? and ?easternized? the region, merely served to complicate emerging categories. Both governments worked hard to enforce the lines that were supposed to separate "good" land from "bad," whites from aboriginals, different groups of newcomers from each other, and women's roles from men's roles. The lines and categories they depended on were used to distinguish each West, and thus each nation, from the other. Drawing on a range of sources, from government maps and reports to oral testimony and personal papers, The Line Which Separates explores the uneven way in which the borderlands were superimposed on Blackfoot country in order to divide a previously cohesive region in the late nineteenth century.
Download or read book Leaving Montana written by Thomas Whaley and published by . This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Official Website... "Saying that Benjamin Sean Quinn had "anger issues" was an understatement. For those who knew him for the shortest amount of time, his life was in order: He was physically fit, had a great job which provided him a house in the suburbs and the material things he desired, a loving, monogamous relationship, two happy, healthy daughters and an established circle of friends. In all accounts, his life seemed perfect. But to those who knew him the longest, they knew he was an idle grenade, waiting for someone to pull the pin. For decades, Ben did his best to conquer his demons; to suppress the anger he accumulated towards his parents, Carmella and Sean, throughout their tumultuous marriage. Ben was their only child; forced to witness and experience things that most adults couldn't even try to handle. He could not escape them or the anger, and no matter how hard he tried, as he matured, it became a part of him. Ben strived to end the toxic cycle and avoid adopting their pattern as part of his own life. By the time he reached his early thirties, he finally seemed to have it all under control. Then Ben's father told him a "secret." One left in Montana when he and Carmella were stationed there forty years earlier. It would exhume the painful memories and suppressed anger that Ben had been avoiding for years and force him to relive his past in order to face his future. Today Benjamin Sean Quinn boards a plane to Billings, Montana. It was time to face the secret head on and let go of the anger that silently ruled his life. It would be the boldest move he ever made, ultimately changing his life and the lives of those around him."

Book Synopsis The Middle Kingdom Under the Big Sky by : Mark T. Johnson
Download or read book The Middle Kingdom Under the Big Sky written by Mark T. Johnson and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2022-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the earliest days of non-Native settlement of Montana, when Chinese immigrants made up more than 10 percent of the territory's population, Chinese pioneers played a key role in the region's development. But this population, so crucial to Montana's history, remains underrepresented in historical accounts, and popular attention to the Chinese in Montana tends to focus on sensational elements--exoticizing Chinese Montanans and distancing their lived experiences from our modern understanding. The Middle Kingdom under the Big Sky seeks to recover the stories of Montana's Chinese population in their own words and deepen understanding of Chinese experiences in Montana by using a global lens. Mark T. Johnson has mined several large collections of primary documents left by Chinese pioneers, translated into English here for the first time. These collections, spanning the 1880s through the 1950s, provide insight into the pressures the Chinese community faced--from family members back in China and from non-Chinese Montanans--as economic and cultural disturbances complicated acceptance of Chinese residents in the state. Through their own voices Johnson reveals the agency of Chinese Montanans in the history of the American West and China.

Download or read book The Book of Yaak written by Rick Bass and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 1997-09-15 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yaak Valley of northwestern Montana is one of the last great wild places in the United States, a land of black bears and grizzlies, wolves and coyotes, bald and golden eagles, wolverine, lynx, marten, fisher, elk, and even a handful of humans. It is a land of magic, but its magic may not be enough to save it from the forces threatening it now. The Yaak does have one trick up its sleeve, though: a writer to give it voice. In Winter Rick Bass portrayed the wonder of living in the valley. In The Book of Yaak he captures the soul of the valley itself, and he shows how, if places like the Yaak are lost, we too are lost. Rick Bass has never been a writer to hold back, but The Book of Yaak is his most passionate book yet, a dramatic narrative of a man fighting to defend the place he loves.
