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.
Download or read book Montana Album Great Falls written by Phil Scriver and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-20 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great Falls is a small city of 60,000 people on the prairies of central Montana. It was built on the Missouri River near a series of waterfalls to take advantage of the potential for hydroelectric power. That same potential, along with some friendly arm twisting brought the railroad lines connecting the city with east and west coast markets. Today people call Great Falls many things ranging from a dying place because it is not keeping pace with the faster growing cities of the state to a quiet place with moderate planned growth. Everyone seems to see this place differently, and they are all right to some degree. I call it home. I have lived here through the good times and the economically tough days. I have never looked elsewhere to live simply because this is my home and where I want to be. This book is how I see my Great Falls. I start with a brief history of my town then follow with photos that give a snapshot of what I see during various seasons as I walk about town. In some respects Great Falls is like most other cities but other things make it unique. It is all in the eye of the beholder. This book is how I see it.

One hundred eighteen pages of full-color photographs are narrated by a six-year-old ranch boy. He ponders the meaning of heroism, life with allergies and learning difficulties, and the challenges of living in harmony with nature. All people are unique, but some of us feel it more strongly than others. It can be hard to be the littlest, hard to have a big sister that seems practically perfect in every way. But if we are loving and hard working and do our best, that can be enough like perfect. The little brother finds his way through the joys and sorrows of daily ranch life.
Download or read book Montana Album written by Phil Scriver and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-07-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Montana was explored and settled the Missouri River played a big part. Some places the river is wide as it meanders through the flat bottom lands. Other areas it is forced into narrow confines of solid rock walls several hundred feet high. Lewis and Clark were the first Americans to explore and describe this river and its amazing set of waterfalls in the middle of the prairies. Then came the trappers and traders who were followed by the steamboats, the military, and railroads. This book gives an overview of that history and photographically displays where it happened. The photos are comparable to what the touring public would shoot rather than the highly polished ones of coffee table books.
