Mysteries And Legends Of Montana

Mind-Boggling Tales from Big Sky Country Meriwether Lewis hauled the metal frame of his favorite boat all the way from St. Louis to the Great Falls of the Missouri, then discovered it wouldn't float. Is it buried in a riverbank somewhere close to one of Montana's largest cities? Thomas Meagher, a Civil War general and former territorial governor, disappeared in muddy waters outside of Fort Benton. Did he go for a boozy, late-night swim or was he murdered? And deep in the cold, dark recesses of Flathead Lake, a mysterious monster may be lurking . . . or maybe "Flessie" is only a figment of some overactive imaginations. From mummified remains of the Little People to ghost sightings in the old territorial prison at Deer Lodge, author Ed Lawrence makes history fun, pulling the curtain back on some of the West's most fascinating and compelling stories.
