Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeing History A wonderful thing about the prairies is they are alive with history. The layers of history are easily seen on the surface of the land. Homestead shacks remind us of the boom and bust years of the early 1900s. Rusty equipment traces agricultural history from the very early times until today. As technology changed so did the farm equipment. Even the livestock have left their mark as cattle, sheep and horses replaced the buffalo. Since the 1860s when the settlers started arriving on these prairies until today many folks have taken advantage of the opportunities they found. Although many settlers left in disappointment others remained to live a good life and reaped the rewards. That history is easily found on these lands too. Generations of families who worked the land are visible with multiple homes on the same farmstead. The original home of the parents sits abandoned as the next generation lives nearby in the newer home that better fits their needs. Homes changed with the changing technology. Prairie towns have shrunk in population to the point many are near-ghost towns. Abandoned homes and a variety of equipment tell the story of what used to be. Welcome to where I grew up. My stories and my photographs tell my view of history on these prairies of Montana.

Book excerpt: “His memories flow as naturally as his writing. . . . The reader is transported back to the day when a six-year-old stepped from the train into a new life.”—Smithsonian As a grown man, Percy Wollaston almost never spoke of the homestead where he grew up—until, in 1972, nearing the age of 70, he wrote this book about his childhood years. Lured by the government’s promise of land and the promotional literature of the railroads, six-year-old Percy Wollaston’s family left behind their home in North Dakota in 1909, heading West to “take up a claim." They settled near Ismay, Montana, where they attempted to carve a successful homestead out of the harsh plains. In compelling, plainspoken language, Wollaston tells of his pioneer family’s everyday existence—constructing a sod house, digging a well, trapping and hunting, courtships and funerals, an influenza epidemic, and a superstitious Irish neighbor. He also recalls the events of the world beyond Ismay, from the sinking of the Titanic, to Prohibition, to World War I, as well as the first sign of the town’s demise during the Great Depression. With a foreword by Jonathan Raban, who discovered this memoir while researching his award-winning Bad Land, Homesteading is a rich and vivid look, seen through the eyes of a hopeful young boy, at the forces that shaped the destiny of a family, a town, and the American West. “Vivid . . . plainly written and satisfyingly detailed.”—The Washington Post
