North America exploration has evolved, revealing vast resources and unexplored geography. This book is a collection of facts and stories from some of the pioneers who opened trails leading to the interior of the continent. The path to Montana descended simultaneously from four directions, culminating at the forty-ninth parallel on the international boundary between the United States and Canada. A trio of mountains known as the Sweet Grass Hills lies along this path. These islands on the prairie were witness to several events, leaving untold stories of peoples and places that effectively contributed to the establishment of Montana.People who make history are not only prodigious folks, but often ordinary people like you or me. Their journeys are chronicled in layers of heredity. This is a brief collection of memoirs, short stories, and facts about the pioneers who persevered and left us reminders of their journey.Join the author as she leads you on an exciting journey featuring some of the characters who opened trails leading to the interior of the continent in As It Was.

Erik Siestema remarked; "Everything is local. Everything is comprehensive. The reading is a wonderful chance for locals to learn from a student of our region." Bob Greyson remarked; "Your book has changed my mind about Charlie Russell. I thought Charlie mainly liked to do two things; go to the bars and paint. I thought he was a loner type person. Through your book I saw that he liked people. That he had a lot of friends, and that he helped them out whenever he could. I like the extensive and detailed research."

Buch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - If you've ever wondered about Montana and its inhabitants, this non-fiction book may give insight into how Montana became a State and what people were here before the Louisiana Purchase was made and Captains Lewis and Clark rode the Missouri to Montana. This unique collection of stories, facts, and careful research is more than a dry history read. It is a story of Montana as it was when Charlie Russell arrived as a 17-year-old 'kid'. How he managed to find himself, his soul mate and eventual business manager, and who his friends were around the campfires in cattle camps throughout Montana and Alberta, Canada. Meet many of the homesteaders and American Indians whose friends and families remained and the common thread of strong will and stoic nature that runs through the people of Montana then and now. Numerous photographs taken by Chas E. Morris, one of northern Montana's first glass plate photographers, are distributed throughout 'As It Was: A Common Thread'. Chas E. Morris rode with Charles Marion Russell and recognized his talent of sketching and painting the west as these two young artists witnessed the disappearance of buffalo and open range. Both documented what they saw, each in their own way. Explore Montana before the northern boundary was established and property was surveyed. No taxes, fences, or law. Without boundaries there can be no law. The records of history are scattered throughout numerous versions of a single event. Each holds a flicker of truth, but more often a humorous or amorous tale of what might have been. Those tales often prevail over the facts and make for good reads. This book recognizes this relationship in the telling of the tale and takes the reader a step closer to the people who persevered Montana's fickle nature to leave indelible marks not easily recognized.
