As It Was: A Common Thread

North America exploration has evolved, revealing vast resources and unexplored geography. This book is a collection of facts and stories from some of the pioneers who opened trails leading to the interior of the continent. The path to Montana descended simultaneously from four directions, culminating at the forty-ninth parallel on the international boundary between the United States and Canada. A trio of mountains known as the Sweet Grass Hills lies along this path. These islands on the prairie were witness to several events, leaving untold stories of peoples and places that effectively contributed to the establishment of Montana. People who make history are not only prodigious folks, but often ordinary people like you or me. Their journeys are chronicled in layers of heredity. This is a brief collection of memoirs, short stories, and facts about the pioneers who persevered and left us reminders of their journey. Join the author as she leads you on an exciting journey featuring some of the characters who opened trails leading to the interior of the continent in As It Was.
