I loved this book! It grabbed my attention and wouldn't let go. It's written in a way that you actually feel like you're living the book. The characters become friends . . . you laugh and cry with them. I really didn't want to see it come to an end!

Little Coyote is one of the best studies of plain/plateau Indians I have ever read!!! I recently spent a year in Montana and my birth mother loaned me her copy to read. At first I was daunted by its length, but then the story kept me enrapt for many an hour.

It is a running history of a People that few have heard of and shows them as they are, a People that are destined to lose their way of life. It is a cronicle of daily life and all its struggles, happiness, joys and sorrows.

This book is an excellent book for those who want to know just how much a People lost and how their ethnicity has been lost. The Character development is excellent. It is a book I highly recommend to anyone.

The Long Journey is a great book. Barbara Corcoran has created wonderful characters and a suspenseful plotline that all readers will love. The writing is so real that you can feel every single thing that is going on in Laurie's mind throughout the story. Perfect for a cold winter's day in fornt of the fire. :-)

Laurie is 13 years old and lives with her grandfather (her parents died when she was young) in the abandoned mining town of Hawkins Dry Diggins, Montana. Once, the town had been thriving, but when it was discovered that there was no gold in any of the mines, it was quickly abandoned by all except Lauri and her father. Now, you will get to follow Lauri and her horse on an adventure throughout rural Montana that is filled with suspense and excitement. I absolutely loved this book and all of the characters in it. Be sure to read The Long Journey if you can find it. You won't be disappointed!! :-)

I grew up in the area of Montana whereof this book is written. In fact, I was there at the campsite where Mrs. Jaeger's daughter was taken during the time period covered. I was one of the children that Mrs. Jaeger came to realize were saved by the loss of Her Child at the hands of a man who had murdered several children through the years.

I read this book cover to cover in a couple of hours. What a tremendous struggle and glorious victory over evil in this world because of this one woman's willingness to not only bear the cross, but to search the scriptures, pray steadfastly for guidance, and be willing to move forward in that process. A wonderful, wonderful book of love, spiritual growth, true Christlike compassion and forgiveness. I'll never forget it!

This book provides a complete knowledge in most simplistic language and explains the management subject in brief. It is very easy for a working executive to understand and practice the various concepts . A must for distance education students.

Vicky Lewis Thompson keeps you glued to the pages. Unable to put the book down. The scenes awaken a passion in the reader that is scandalously hot. I felt I was right there with the characters all of the time, rooting for them to come together(permanently). Tortureously sizzling hot read. Excellent.

In the current miasmic atmosphere in public affairs created by the corrupting trinity of big money, indiscriminate television and instant opinion polls, it is salutary to recall those who have lent honor and distinction to public service by honest and relentless pursuit of the common good as they saw it. John and Catherine Morrison have provided such retrospect with their literary pantheon of remarkable Montanans titled "Mavericks," now published by the University of Idaho Press.

The lives, times, vicissitudes, triumphs and tragedies of nine leading actors in the drama of this state's first century are skillfully and accurately delineated in a single volume that is a handbook on our public affairs. Which is not to say that it even pretends to be objective. The authors are unabashed admirers of the Josephs Dixon and Toole, Ella Knowles and Jeannette Rankin, Tom Walsh and B.K. Wheeler, and Jim Murray, Mike Mansfield and Lee Metcalf, as far seeing, fearless progressives. This carefully researched and well organized book is at its best an insightful examination of Montana's populist-progressive tradition as illuminated by these players.

The list does not include Pat Williams, who sustained the tradition in the House of Representatives for 18 years without flinching. In his concise forward though, Williams adumbrates the Morrison's central theme, "...the golden thread of courage." These men and women were as diverse in their backgrounds, personalities, predilictions, and modus operendi as they could possibly be, yet they had one thing in common: when the chips were down and the issue really mattered, their convictions came first and they did the best they could with the rest of it.

The concluding paragraphs are the most intriguing in the book. The authors are relatively young and have not been prominent in public affairs. Yet their six page conclusion is as piercing and enlightened a statement on the state of the state and its future as we've seen. It is informed with an extraordinary sense of the importance, on the one hand, of leadership on the part of elected officials, but, on the other hand, the equal and ever more urgent importance of participation on the part of all of us. Well and deeply considered and elegently written, these few paragraphs are a much needed orientation as to where we are now and a beacon to the future.

I am not a big fan of the western novel, but this little gem is a masterpiece that deserves to stay in print. The "me" in the title is "Grubber" Graves, a tough 15 year old orphan who narrates his adventures with Gallagher who gets the job done in the lawless Big Sky country of 1863. The real job is teaching Grubber such life lessons as: self-reliance, tolerance for others, taking a stand, and understanding the nature of evil. Combines the vernacularized conscience of Huck Finn with the stylistic economy of Nick's tale of the Great Gatsby.

This photographer's has an exceptional eye. His art makes me remissness of a trip we do occasionally to Montana. I'm a lover of the wilderness and I welcome such a collection of fine photographic art of that great state.

Montana Blue is an excellent book. I have always been a cowgirl at heart and riding the range with Trampus would be so exciting. I hope Brick Mosier writes more novels about the west and Trampus.
