Discussing the various facets of Montana history

Collaboratively compiled and edited by Montana historians Harry W. Friz, Mary Murphy, and Robert R. Swartout Jr. Montana Legacy: Essays On History, People, And Place is an impressive and informative anthology of sixteen essays discussing the various facets of Montana history ranging from birth control and prenatal care in rural Montana, to Montana's Clark-Daly Feud, to the Montana State Prison Riot of 1959. Black-and-white photographs and maps enhance this scholarly assessment of different aspects of the Montana's cultural and political evolution from the 1800's down to the twenty-first century. Montana Legacy is very highly recommended for American History reference collections, and especially Montana State History supplemental reading lists.
