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 GOVERNOR GREG GIANFORTE none. With our ongoing support, these Montanans will continue to create and contribute to our treasured culture for generations to come.

MONTANA

MONTANA

HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Montana’s story is shaped, in part, by the wildness of our soaring mountains and the vastness of our endless prairies. Even more impactful are the stories of the people who call this amazing place home and the cultural treasures that celebrate our shared stories.You’ll ﬁnd these treasures in every Montana town – at museums, historic sites, galleries, cultural events and festivals. Yet it is the interaction between the landscape and the people who have called this place home that brings our story full circle and provides a vision of the past as well as the future. 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 major collection of Charles M. Russell’s artwork memorializes Native Americans, free trappers, and cowboys. Experience the exhibits that take you across the land that Lewis and Clark passed through more than 200 years ago, and the miners, foresters, homesteaders, and community builders who followed. Our

MONTANA

ﬂagship exhibit, “Montana Homeland,” explores the interactions between Montana’s various landscapes and peoples. Rotating exhibits highlight many aspects of Montana history, from microbreweries to portraiture. If you are traveling around Montana on vacation or business, we have a free mobile app that allows us to accompany you on your travels and share 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. If you want to learn more and explore 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 schedule. Please take the time to visit the attractions in our cities and towns. Even the smallest place has something that will surprise and delight you. Let’s celebrate Montana history and our “Cultural Treasures” together.

LITERARY TREASURES

Carl M. Davis,

Six Hundred Generations: An Archaeological History of Montana

Beneath her rivers and ranges, Montana holds an ancient Indigenous human history that spans through time, technology, and culture. This book examines 12 archaeological sites that paint a picture of how Native Americans lived, evolved, and flourished in the area for thousands of years. This engrossing volume is accompanied by a rich array of photographs of archaeological sites, artifacts, and rock art, along with conceptual illustrations of Montana’s Indigenous peoples by noted artist-archaeologist Eric Carlson.

Monte Dolack,

Vision, Myth and Mystery: The Art of Monte Dolack

Brimming with Monte Dolack’s most popular paintings, this new coffee table art book spans over four decades of whimsical creations by the prolific Montana artist. As natural to Montana as trout to a stream, Dolack’s art reflects his zeal for this great state. “I think people can get a pretty good sense of who I am, what I value and where I’ve been based upon my artwork,” the artist says. “If there’s any message latent in the paint, it’s that we need to pay attention to nature. It’s out there, right in front of us every day. All of us have one foot in her current.”

Kate Hampton,

The Best Gift: Montana’s Carnegie Libraries

In the early twentieth century, the era’s richest man, Andrew Carnegie, donated funds to seventeen Montana communities to build libraries. Today, fifteen of those libraries remain standing, and architectural historian Kate Hampton tells their tale in this detailed portrait of Carnegie’s rich legacy in Montana. With images from photographer Tom Ferris, this account provides stunning detail of the architectural elements of these iconic buildings, including hand-drawn architectural renderings

and historical images. All book proceeds benefit Montana historic preservation.

Jean Belangie-Nye, John Yau, and Aaron Teasdale

A Corner of Space and Time: Lee Nye’s Eddie’s Club Portraits

“You think all this occurs in the camera; it happens there, but it isn’t from the camera,” Lee Nye explained in a 1993 video interview. “The Eddie’s Club portraits formed and formed and formed with every beer I drew for these guys, or every discussion we had, all the BS that went into those. This is a bar where people visit, drink, get acquainted, their second home, get lost, get found, all kinds of things happen there.” With an influx of literary luminaries in the late 60’s (including regulars James Welch, Richard Hugo, William Kittredge, James Lee Burke, and Jay Rummel), Eddie’s Club in Missoula (now Charlie B’s) flashed a peek at the American West counterculture. This fine-art book features duotone black and metallic silver prints of the portrait set, along with biographies of each subject, historical essays, technical photography details, and an interview with photographer Nye.

Russell Rowland,

Fifty-Six Counties: A Montana Journey

Native Montanan Russell Rowland spent almost a year travelling around the state, studying and considering Montana’s essential character. From the badlands of the East to the pine-covered mountains in the West, Rowland reflects on where we came from and what we might be in the process of becoming.

John Taliaferro,

Grinnell: America’s Environmental Pioneer and His Restless Drive to Save the West In the thrall of the industrial age, a mostly-forgotten New York merchant’s son named George Bird Grinnell sparked the first flames of America’s conserva-

CULTURAL TREASURES 2021

tion movement by pondering the effects of Manifest Destiny upon the Western landscape. Grinnell grew up on the estate of ornithologist John James Audubon, graduated from Yale, and dug for dinosaurs on the Great Plains. He explored the Black Hills with George A. Custer, helped map Yellowstone, and scaled the peaks in Glacier National Park before it was a park. He founded the Boone and Crockett Club with Theodore Roosevelt and leveraged for federal legislation to protect migratory birds; paving the way for the Endangered Species Act. Throughout, he spent many seasons among the Plains Indians, becoming one of America’s most respected ethnologists and an advocate for indigenous culture. Drawing from forty thousand pages of correspondence and dozens of diaries, Author John Taliaferro brings Grinnell’s influential portrait to light.

David Treuer,

The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee: Native America from 1890 to the Present

Native American author David Truer challenges the narrative that Native American Indian history ended with the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee. Instead, he discusses the history of the intense struggle to preserve language, culture, and existence that came afterwards. With remarkable insight to an unseen angle, this book reveals the unprecedented resilience, resourcefulness, and reinvention of Indigenous Americans. A New York Times bestseller, Treuer’s take on history was also chosen by Barack Obama as one of his favorite books of 2019.
