Ken Egan, Jr.'s new book Montana 1889: Indians, Cowboys, and Miners in the Year of Statehood tells the many stories of this overwhelming transformation by entering into the lives, emotions, and decisions of diverse peoples cooperating and competing on this contested ground. Egan will be reading from and discussing this work at Cassiopeia Books, an event that anyone with an interest in the history of the Treasure State simply cannot afford to miss.
