The C.M. Russell Museum is one of the nation’s finest museums of American Western art and the home of the most complete collection of Russell art and memorabilia in the world. It holds thousands of Russell paintings, sculptures, drawings, and illustrations. In his work, Russell captured the landscapes, the spirit, and the culture of the West during the late 1800s and early 1900s. His artwork is part entertainment, part history lesson.

Message Governor • MonTana Arts Council
from the Governor
Y
ou don’t have to visit many Montana art galleries or museums to realize that there is something truly inspiring going on here. Maybe it has something to do with the colors of a big sky sunset or the light reflecting off a half-frozen stream, or the ideas that have time to grow over the long winter nights. But whatever the reason, as you explore the state, you will find that Montana has an incredibly rich culture and talented artistic community. You will find everything you expect from the West and much, much more. Our writers, artists, musicians, dancers and actors include those who bring their tribal traditions to their work, and others who draw their inspiration from growing up in the small towns and cities that dot Montana’s landscape. Newcomers to all that Montana’s galleries, museums, bookstores and theatres have to offer can expect to be pleasantly surprised. And those of us who already know how vibrant our arts community is, can look forward to something new to rejuvenate our spirits.

Good Reading for Montana at 150
M
ontana turns 150 years old in 2014, and it’s a good moment to revisit books that can illuminate what life was like in this remarkable place during its territorial days. The Vigilantes of Montana, Being a Correct and Impartial Narrative of the Chase, Trial, Capture, and Execution of Henry Plummer’s Notorious Road Agent Band by Thomas Dimsdale is the first—and most controversial—telling of vigilante justice in the gold-mining towns of Bannack and Virginia City in 1864. Contemporary readers should enjoy challenging the good professor’s sanguine rendering of the lynch craze. Andrew Garcia’s Tough Trip through Paradise, 1878-1879 is the wildest of Montana territorial tales. Garcia, aka “The Squaw Kid,” narrates what happens when he leaves behind his life as a horse wrangler for the U. S. Army, marries a Nez Perce woman, and begins to see life through the eyes of a native woman who survived the Big Hole and Bear Paw battles. Garcia is profound, humble, and grandiose all at the same time. George Horse Capture edited The Seven Visions of Bull Lodge, as told by his daughter, Garter Snake. It is a moving account of the making of the head medicine man for the A’aninin or White Clay People (commonly referred to as the Gros Ventres). Bull Lodge’s story asks readers to see the Montana landscape with new eyes as the young man experienced a series of visions on high points in north-central Montana. The Bloody Bozeman: The Perilous Trail to Montana’s Gold by Dorothy Johnson is still a good read after all these years. In her inimitably witty style, Johnson tells stories of the many people—native and white—who occupied this short-lived trail between 1863 and 1868. William Kittredege and Annick Smith, edited the must-read book on this list, The Last Best Place: A Montana Anthology. This capacious gathering of many voices, many stories from Montana’s past and present offers a wonderland of tales told from native and non-native perspectives.
It’s a perfect sampler that will guide you toward more reading on your own. Plenty-coups: Chief of the Crows by Frank Linderman is an “as-told-to” account of the life and times of a great Crow chief. Plenty-coups’ vision early in life of the disappearance of the buffalo and the means for Crows’ adapting to that reality is one of the most important moments in all of Montana literature. What was the gold rush like for the women who stayed behind to take care of families and manage family businesses? And what happened when those “gold rush widows” joined their husbands in places such as Virginia City? Find out by reading The Gold Rush Widows of Little Falls: A Story Drawn from the Letters of Pamelia and James Fergus by Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith. And what was it like to be an eleven-year-old girl, Mollie Sheehan, in Virginia City during the heyday of the vigilantes? Mary Ronan’s affecting memoir, Girl from the Gulches: The Story of Mary Ronan, edited by Ellen Baumler, will help you see through the eyes of that precocious child. Ronan was married to the agent on the Flathead Indian Reservation, and so she also shares stories of Charlo and the Salish and the Nez Perce War. Granville and James Stuart arrived in the Beaverhead Valley in 1857 and were forever transfixed by what became the Territory of Montana. Granville’s collection of journal entries and historical reflections, Forty Years on the Frontier, makes for required reading for those interested in the fur trading days, the gold rush years, the rise and fall of the open range, and much more. An acknowledged masterpiece, James Welch’s novel Fools Crow immerses the reader in the lives of Pikuni Blackfeet at the last moment before their eclipse following the Marias Massacre of 1870.

Granite St. – (406) 782-7580 www.thecopperkingmansion.com thecopperkingmansion@gmail.com Open: Tours daily, May-Sept; open for B&B all year William Andrews Clark arrived in the Montana Territory in 1864 with $5 and a horse. He became known as one of the “100 men who owned America” and 1 of 3 Butte’s Copper Kings. He was also the U.S. Senator from Montana in 1900. In 1884, Clark contracted this building for his private residence in Butte. This mansion was under construction from 1884-1888 at a cost of $260,000. This is the only mansion in Montana that is still privately owned & accessible to the public. The moment you step through the front door of this 3-story home, you are overwhelmed by the grandeur & massiveness of the building, including the grand staircase, 9 fireplaces, frescoed ceilings, combed plastered walls, stained glass windows, electric & gas chandeliers & more. Trained tour guides will conduct you through this National Historic Site. Show us this book for a tour discount. (See ad pg. 50)
