Ross Toole repeatedly called for: grass-roots history that both entertains and educates. More than a skilled historian, Walter is the consummate storyteller. Whether setting background to the ongoing \"wolf wars,\" recounting tragic episodes in relations between the races in Montana, or describing the real-life adventures of some of the territory's and the state's most colorful characters, Walter tells his stories in graphic detail-often tingeing the tale with his wry humor. Walter has chosen his stories craftily; each one is steeped in human interest, and in the hands of this masterful historian\/storyteller, that interest is raised to its most engaging level.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-LINDA PEAVEY AND URSULA SMITH, AUTHORS OF \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen in Waiting in the Western Movement: Life on the Home Frontier \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Made from Montana's unique historical mosaic, this exceptionally well-tailored collection has deep pockets lined with the finest storytelling fabric in the state.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-DARRELL ROBES KIPP\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePiegan Institute \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eClassic Stories from Montana History No one knew more about Montana's history than the late, great Dave Walter, and no one told the state's stories with more eloquence, humor, and accuracy.
