Following Old Trails

This marvelous book, first issued in 1913, represents the collection of stories about the settling of Montana -- much of it the basis of subsequent historical understanding of what occurred in Montana with the intrustion of American settlers in the wake of the Lewis & Clark Expedition in 1805-06. Several years ago when Jack Weidenfeller of Missoula, Montana, himself a descendant of a prominent Montana pioneer family, re-issued this wonderful collection of stories researched and written by Dr. Arthur L. Stone, editor of The Missoulian, in 1913, and the first dean of the School of Journalism at the University of Montana, he had no thought that the book would develop such an ongoing interest -- or that, due to its success, that he would re-issue it with Stoneydale Press. It, literally, provides an unfolding of the state's early history in an authoritative and highly readable format. A big, 318-page book issued in 6x90-inch format.
