Montana’s colorful history is recounted on the over two hundred roadside markers dot that roadsides across the state. These signs provide a fascinating introduction to Montana history for tourists and Montanans alike.
The fourth edition of Montana’s Historical Highway Markers, revised, newly illustrated with historic photographs, and significantly expanded, shares the text to these markers with easy-to-follow maps to guide you to the signs’ locations. Over 100 historical photos and new entries on Lewis & Clark and geological features supplement this new edition. Buffalo jumps, gold strikes, mining disasters, and famous battles all get their due in these roadside signs, as do dinosaurs, epidemics, irrigation projects, railroads, wagon roads, and wilderness areas. In short, the story of Montana’s people is offered up in lively prose for the enjoyment of every Montanan and tourist alike.
The text of the markers themselves, the story behind them, and delightful Shorty Shope illustrations make this book a ?must read.” Road trippers will want two copies?one for their bookshelves and the other for their glove compartments.
