Cover Artist karen garre The Emerson was my first studio space in Montana. It was a corner space with great light. I’ve been an artist all my life, starting in first grade in a oneroom country school house that also had great light. That was the year that I decided I was going to be an artist. After attending Western Washington State College, I attended the Burnley School of Art (now the Art Institute of Seattle) on scholarship. After college, I opened a design studio creating logos and brochures, designing packaging, and creating illustrations for national companies. From there, I moved to creating fine art for galleries. When we moved to Montana, my husband and I showed our work in our own gallery in Livingston for 15 years. We have since sold the gallery and moved to a studio at our home in Livingston. My work has been widely shown in many places across the country including Disney World, San Bernadino Art Museum, Holter Museum, Nicolaysen Museum, C.M. Russell Masters in Miniature, Missoula Museum, Yellowstone Art Museum, Governor’s Mansion, Paris Gibson Art Museum, Water Works Art Museum, Painted Buffalo Roam Project in West Yellowstone, and numerous gallery shows from New York to Seattle.

cultural treasures 2022

message from the governor From our snow-capped mountains to our endless prairies, Montana is an awe-inspiring place of tremendous beauty. Our skies are limitless. Our streams, rivers, and lakes are pristine. Our diverse landscapes are like no other. Our people are the story of our rich Montana heritage. It’s no wonder that our Treasure State has stirred the creativity of generations of artists, authors, musicians, and dancers. Together, they have shaped Montana’s vibrant culture throughout our great state. Whether you are visiting Montana or call it home, I encourage you to stop in at a gallery, explore a museum, browse a bookstore, or take your family to a local theater to support Montana’s artistic community. They offer a window into our remarkable way of life that is second to none. With our ongoing support, these Montanans will continue to create and contribute to our treasured cul- Governor GREG GIANFORTE ture for generations to come.

MONTANA Historical Society Montana’s soaring mountains and endless prairies help shape the stories of this amazing, wild place we call home. Our cultural treasures in almost every Montana town – at museums, historic sites, galleries and cultural events and festivals – celebrate those stories and our rich history. We invite you to explore those stories and seek your own vision of “The Last Best Place” by visiting Montana’s Museum at the Montana Historical Society across from the State Capitol in Helena. The Montana Historical Society has been gathering and telling Montana’s stories since 1865 and honestly, we’re pretty good at it. Montana’s Museum is a feast for the eyes and the intellect. Our vast collection of Charles M. Russell’s artwork memorializes Native Americans, free trappers, and cowboys. Our “Neither Empty Nor Unknown” exhibit takes you across the land the Lewis and Clark Expedition passed through more than 200 years ago, as did the miners, foresters, homesteaders, and community builders who followed. Our flagship exhibit, “Montana

Homeland,” explores the interactions between Montana various landscapes and peoples. Rotating exhibits highlight many aspects of Montana history, from microbreweries to portraiture. When traveling around Montana on vacation or business, use our free mobile app that shares stories and photographs of Montana places. The MHS’ HistoricMT app is available on Google Play and Apple App Store for both Android and IOS devices. To learn more and explore our collections, visit us on the web at mhs.mt.gov. Our welcoming staff at the Montana Historical Society will answer your questions, help you plan stops along your route, and guide you to Montana museums and galleries that fit your interests and schedules. Taking the time to visit the attractions in our cities and towns will both surprise and delight you. Together, let’s celebrate Montana history and our “Cultural Treasures.”

Molly Kruckenberg Director, Montana Historical Society

montana’s literary treasures Excerpts from Book Bound with Barbara Was It Worth It? : A Wilderness Warrior’s Long Trail Home by Doug Peacock

In a collection of gripping stories of adventure, Peacock reflects on a life lived in the wild, asking the question many ask in their twilight years: “Was It Worth It?” The environmentalist observes that what he calls “solitary walks” were the greatest currency he and his buddies ever shared. He asserts that, “solitude is the deepest well I have encountered in this life,” and the introspection it affords has made him who he is: a lifelong protector of the wilderness and its many awe-inspiring inhabitants. Recalling adventures that range from grizzlies in Yellowstone to jaguars in the high Sonoran Desert and Belize, Peacock acknowledges that COVID-19 has put, “everyone’s mortality in the lens now and it’s not necessarily a telephoto shot.” Peacock recounts these adventures to try to understand and explain his perspective on Nature: that wilderness is the only thing left worth saving.

Ridgeline: A Novel by Michael Punke

On December 21, 1866, Crazy Horse and his warriors lured 80 US soldiers into a trap, killing them all. Whether you know the battle as The Fetterman Massacre or The Battle of the Hundred Hand, this book tells who was there and what happened. The prologue is set on the day of the battle and then moves into the five months leading up to that day. Punke lists the key players, the Lakota, soldiers, and civilians, who come to life as Punke imagines the inner thoughts and conversations of these real people. He states: “I have worked to stay true to important facts so that readers are not left with a misimpression of historical events.” Ridgeline is historical fiction at its best.

Home Waters: A Chronicle of Family and a River

by John N. Maclean

Home Waters is about a family and a river. A place that many have become familiar with because of a book and a film called A River Runs Through It. Perhaps this can be called the rest of the story, as John Maclean recalls his memories of fathers and sons at a Seeley Lake cabin, the lore of fly-fishing, and the importance of nature. Woodcuts by Wesley W. Bates, maps, and photographs make a beautiful and rightful tribute. From the epilogue: “I do not fish alone on the Blackfoot, ever, even though now I mostly fish it by myself. When I’m on the water, and especially when no one else is around, I fee the presence of generations of my family whose stories run through it.”

A History of Montana in 101 Objects:

Artifacts & Essays from the Montana Historical Society

A showcase of the remarkable collection of artifacts preserved at the Montana Historical Society, this assemblage of objects and interpretive essays draws attention to the diversity of experience— the triumphs and the sorrows, the everyday struggles and joys— that made Montana. Since 1865, the Montana Historical Society has pursued its mission to collect and protect items of significance to Montana’s past for the pleasure and education of resi-

dents and visitors. Featured objects span a breadth of time and cultures, ranging from a petroglyph to famous guide and trapper Jim Bridger’s “Hawken” rifle, each accompanied by expert photography and a short interpretive essay.

Savage West: The Life and Fiction of Thomas Savage by O. Alan Weltzien

O. Alan Weltzien’s literary biography chronicles the life and work of the neglected but deeply talented novelist, Thomas Savage (1915—2003). One of the intermountain West’s best novelists, Savage’s book, The Power of the Dog, has recently been made into an award-winning film. As a closeted gay family man, Savage was both an outsider and an insider, navigating an intense conflict between his sexual identity and the claustrophobic social restraints of the rural West. Unlike many other Western writers, Savage avoided the formulaic westerns so popular in his time and offered instead a realistic, often subversive version of the region. His novels tell a hard, harsh story about dysfunctional families, loneliness, and stifling provincialism in the small towns and ranches of the northern Rockies.
