The House of Bair: Sheep, Cadillacs and Chippendale

The House of Bair tells the story of one of the most remarkable families of the early 19th century.
 The Bairs built a dynasty in the small ranching community of Martinsdale, Montana. They left behind a legacy of philanthropy---and, displayed in their ranch house, a vast and invaluable collection of American and European art and antiques.
 The Bairs left their home as a museum to the people of Montana a seemingly simple request that ultimately divided friends, sparked numerous lawsuits, and made national headlines. Rostad details the fight of the community to save the ranch museum and uphold the wishes of these beloved and colorful figures in Montana's history.

The Ringling Brothers Circus—the world’s greatest shows!—made five brothers some of the wealthiest men in America in the early 1900s. One of them—flamboyant John Ringling—came to Montana in 1903 looking for investments. He ended up building a railroad and launching a ranching company. Richard, son of circus brother Alf T. Ringling, followed his Uncle John to Montana in 1917 and built a cattle and sheep empire. He and his family settled in a mansion in White Sulphur Springs. Richard’s son Paul was born in Montana in 1920 and became a prominent rancher and state legislator. He still lives in the state as this book is published. The Ringlings made their marks in Montana in many ways, from a town named after them to the historic Bozeman Roundup rodeo. Author and historian Lee Rostad tells the Ringlings’ Montana stories, plus tales of the circus’s ups and downs, in this engrossing volume. Her research included access to the family’s private papers and photographs, including many images in this book.

Grace Stone Coates: Her Life in Letters

Grace Stone Coates published two books of poetry and the acclaimed novel, Black Cherries, but it is in her letters where the real story of Coates is found. She had a long, very personal correspondence with William Saroyan (The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze), and she regularly exchanged letters with Montana literary lion H.G. Merriam, Native American writer Frank Bird Linderman, Charles M. Russell art historian James Rankin, and others. It is a very engaging adventure to find the brilliant, passionate woman behind the demure housewife who wrote the local news for the county newspapers.
