Off The Beaten Path Montana: A Guide to Unique Places 5th Edition
Michael McCoy

Globe Pequot, 2002

A good little guide with character

I used this guide for a trip across southern Montana. The guide pointed me to such off-beat delights as the Road Kill Cafe ("from your grill to ours") in tiny McLeod, a place you won't find listed in most guidebooks. Another place you won't find in most guides is "The Big Open," a 15,000 square ...

A good fast read. Nice writing style that grabs you. Written in 1959 but still valid for history up until then. You will finish the book with a nice comprehensive understanding of the history of the state.

Moon Handbooks Montana (Moon Handbooks : Montana)
W. C. McRae, Judy Jewell

Avalon Travel Publishing, 2002

Thorough, Unique and Interesting

+ Good stuff
+ Montana Handbook Gives Great Information

I would highly recommend any of the Moon Publication Handbooks, the Montana handbook is an excellent example of the accurate, in-depth coverage the Moon Company provides. There are many little things covered in the Moon handbooks that are omitted from the big travel names such as AAA and Frommers. ...
  
  











  



  
Winter : Notes from Montana
Rick Bass, Elizabeth Hughes

Mariner Books, 1992

Rick's a cool guy

+ In Search of Solitude...
+ I felt Snow through the author's words

Having experienced the Yaak during winter, a few years in a row, I know what it's like... Kinda boring but very pretty. That was a few years ago, when I was a young teenager. I knew Rick and his family; I went to school with his daughters. In fact, his oldest daughter was one of my best friends. I ...

Roadside History of Montana (Roadside History Series) (Roadside History Series)
Donald E. Spritzer

Mountain Press Publishing Company, 1999

New Concept in Information

"Roadside History of Montana" is a very good book on the history of Montana but beyond that it is a valuable outdoor recreation tool. Along with "Roadside Geology of Montana" this book adds wheels to reading. The concept of formatting a book to follow highways has opened up new vistas for me when ...

Montana (Second Edition): High, Wide, and Handsome
Joseph Kinsey Howard

Bison Books, 2003

This is THE book on Montana.

+ Exciting, interesting, well worth reading.

If you want to know the story of Montana, this is where you start. It's written by the best journalist-writer who ever lived in the state (excluding Bud Guthrie, of course, who chose fiction instead). It must be understood that it is not a "definitive history" as Howard himself stated, but a ...
  
  











  



  
Montana Places: Exploring Big Sky Country
John B. Wright, Jack Wright

New Mexico Geographical Society, 2000

boring

If people want to write books about beautiful places, they should put at least one colored picture in it. The only color was on the cover. If I had known there were no colored pictures inside the book, I never would have purchased it.

From the first-ever discovery of a Tyrannosaurus rex to Lewis and Clark's landmark expedition; ...
  
  











  



  
The Bloody Bozeman: The Perilous Trail to Montana's Gold

McGraw Hill Text, 1971

The days of the Bozeman Trail fairly leap to life

+ Well Done!
+ History that reads like a novel

In the annals of American western history the Bozeman Trail through the Wyoming and Montana has a special notoriety for violence and peril. The Bozeman traveler faced hostile Native Americans, outlaws, hard climates, and wilderness solitude. Yet it was the trail favored by prospectors seeking their ...
