Begin the journey to discover how Montana came to be the great state that it is today!
By 1900 Montana was home to 243,329 people. The state had produced 61% of the country's copper just the year before, which amounted to 23% of the world's supply.
By 1930 there were 537,606 people in the state. The nation was just beginning to get a taste of the banking crashes and economic depression that Montanans had been feeling since the '20s.
The cause of these problems in Montana can be traced to propaganda both the state and railroads put out beginning in 1905. These pamphlets told bald-faced lies to people the world over. Dry farming was advocated, and in an environment that couldn't support it long-term. When the bust came in 1916 more than 200,000 people left. As a result, Montana was the only state in the union to lose population in the 'Roaring Twenties.'
You'll learn all that and more in this exciting fourth volume of Montana history. There's Montana's involvement in the Spanish-American War in 1898, the creation of the National Forests and magnificent dams in the state, and the Panic of 1907 that devastated the nation's and world's economy. And that's just one decade in this three-decade book!
