More than a dozen lives that tell the story of one of America's most cherished national parks Pierced by ice-carved peaks and laced with hidden valleys, Glacier National Park seems untouched by human hands in its wildness. Yet for almost two centuries of recorded history, many historic figures have left their imprint on this scenic wonderland. Through fascinating biographical sketches, Stars Over Montana tells the stories of those who immortalized the region with their feats, their writing, and their art-and those who took steps to preserve and protect the land for future generations. Warren L. Hanna's outstanding research and absorbing prose bring these stories of exploration, discovery, and inspiration alive again in this reissue of his classic work-timed to celebrate the park's 100th anniversary. We learn how a teenager from Eastern Canada, Hugh Monroe, went West to become the legendary Blackfoot Indian called Rising Wolf. And then there was the adventure-filled life of his grandson, Billy Jackson, who served as a scout for General Custer at the Battle of Little Bighorn. Among the other colorful figures profiled in this book are James Willard Schultz, who went West to become not only a famous frontiersman but also one of America's foremost writers on Indian adventure, and George Bird Grinnell, Father of Glacier National Park.
