Book excerpt: From Spur Award-winning author Charles G. West comes a blistering tale of the American West, where guns are the law, good men are outnumbered—and sudden death is a way of life . . . MASSACRE IN MONTANA Raised among the Blackfoot, John Hawk is a valuable asset to the US Army. As a military scout at Fort Ellis, he is able to cross the line between two worlds—and help keep the peace. But when he disobeys a direct order from his commander, Hawk is immediately dismissed from his post. That was the army’s first mistake. The second was losing track of a small mule train en route to Helena. At the request of his former lieutenant, Hawk leaves his cabin on the Boulder River to help find the missing party. The mule train, it appears, was ambushed by a savage gang of outlaws. Most of the travelers were murdered. Only a few survived to tell the tale. And now it’s up to Hawk to stalk the killers across the lawless Montana territory—alone. No backup. No calvary. No mercy . . . “Rarely has an author painted the great American West in strokes so bold, vivid, and true.” —Ralph Compton

Book excerpt: He is known as Johnny Montana. It is the name given to him by his fellow miners in the Redhawk mining district. Those working have been able to accumulate sizable caches of gold dust. The problem for the miners is how to get their gold out of the district. Brett Cutter and his gang of Cut-throats watch the roads and byways for miners trying to leave. Vacating miners are attacked and usually left dead after having been stripped of their gold. It is in the center of this growing tension and the certainty that their claim will soon be attacked that Johnny Montana’s mining partners agree that the best way to ward off an attack is for one of them to take out their gold on a packhorse. But the plan goes awry. No sooner has Johnny begun his desperate journey than behind him he hears the sounds of their camp being attacked by the Cut-throats. There will be pursuit, and he is only one against a horde of bloodthirsty thieves. Michael Zimmer is no stranger to a gripping Western story, and Johnny Montana may be his best yet, a wild ride of revenge, greed, and survival in the Wild West.

Download or read book The Lost Treasures of Montana written by Peter Netzel and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE LOST TREASURES OF MONTANA, Gold West Country-Vol. 2 Author, Peter Netzel The Lost Treasures of Montana is a series of books on the lost treasures that can be found in Montana, by region. The series is based on over twenty years of researching old treasure legends. This book contains details of locations of buried caches and lost treasures in Gold West Country, Montana. Counties covered in this edition of The Lost Treasures of Montana-GOLD WEST COUNTRY, Volume 2 are Broadwater County, Deer Lodge County, Jefferson County, Lewis and Clark County, Powell County, and Silver Bow County. Even though some regions have more lost treasures than others, all of The Treasure State's regions have an interesting history and intriguing stories of the characters who lived in the gold rush days of the Old West. Montana's state capitol, Helena, is located in this region. Helena was the site of one of the richest gold strikes in U.S. History, at Last Chance Gulch, in July of 1864. About 67 miles southwest of Helena, is Butte, another former boom town. Butte began as nothing more than a group of gold mining camps back in the early 1870's. Then, silver and copper were discovered. These discoveries brought in a flood of people and new companies to Butte. By the late 1870's, a large and bustling city had been born. While silver and gold were actively mined in Butte, it was copper that truly put Butte on the map. The stories take you back to the time of the Wild West and its gold rush days. You will meet the colorful outlaw characters who stole the loot, how they did it, and where it may have ended up. Most of the stories include maps, in case you wish to search for hidden treasure yourself! Details and background of locations of buried loot and hidden caches are covered in the book. Along with the many maps included, are rich details of the colorful history that paint a vivid word portrait of the history that took place in this section of Montana in the wild, exciting days of its gold and silver rushes. Author, Peter Netzel, explains - "I have been researching old treasure legends for twenty years and have been successful in pinning down the locations of most of the lost treasures in this region on topographic maps. I include these detailed maps with the stories in this series. In addition to pinpointing actual locations, I have even found a few lost treasures never before presented in books!" Portions of the Gold West Country region of Montana are where the Henry Plummer Gang is alleged to have operated. There were other outlaws active in Gold West Country in the 1800's and early 1900's also. The most common and repeated crimes involved cattle rustling; horse stealing; and robbing stagecoaches, banks, and trains. During the short reign of terror by Plummer and his road agents, it is believed that they hid much of their loot. (Some sources believe it more likely that they spent it as fast as they could on whiskey, wild women, and gambling!) Several of the treasures that are claimed to have been hidden by Plummer and other outlaws are said to lay in this region. Not all lost treasures covered in this book were the result of outlaws hiding loot. Some of the hidden caches concern lost mines and rich gold and silver ledges which were never found a second time. The purpose of this book is to look at all of these lost treasures and see if they could be real or not. Some may be doubtful, and some accounts seem to hold water. It is up to you, the reader, to come to your own conclusions. No matter what you decide, you will find the history of the Montana's Gold West Country interesting and entertaining. You do not have to be a treasure hunter to enjoy this book series. In the Lost Treasures of Montana series, you will even find a few lost treasures never before presented in books!

Download or read book The Montana Frontier written by Joyce Litz and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2004-04-15 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This true story of a Victorian-era young woman who follows her husband to a small town with the improbable name of Gilt Edge, Montana, will remind readers of Wallace Stegner's Angle of Repose, the classic novel of a woman's life in the Mountain West. As a young girl, Lillian Weston, the author's grandmother, aspired to be a concert pianist. However, as a young woman in turn-of-the-century New York, she became a newspaper columnist. Her marriage to Frank Hazen took her west in 1899, ending her career as a newspaperwoman. She turned her writing skills to journals, diaries, stories, and poems, which traced her family's life on a frontier that was no longer unspoiled. The Hazens endured brutal winters and dry summers and endeavored to raise cattle and chickens by trial and error. Lillian was an assiduous diarist who included details of her turbulent marriage challenged by Frank's bad business deals. The details of birth control and child rearing, gambling and prostitution, education and health care are all part of this story, offering glimpses into everyday life that often go unreported in the larger story of western expansion.
