Bette Wolfe Duncan was born and raised in Southeastern Montana - Russell Country. She is the granddaughter of early Montana and North Dakota pioneers. Her memories still reside in the Bighorns, the Beartooths, the Tetons. . . In Custer's Battlefield and Pempey's Pillar . . . In the Pryor and in Bull Mountains.
In memories, she often hikes again through the Rimrocks, the Indian caves and through abandoned gold mines and homesteads. She can still hear, with her heart, the tales of the grizzled old-timers who loved in Montana when it was still a territory.
This book is an Echo of the stories heard by Bette Wolfe Duncan as a child - accounts of a time when the great buffalo herds still thundered through the valleys, when Cheyenne and Crow still camped around the Yellowstone River, when mountain men and cowboys, prospectors and miners, rustlers and vigilantes still populated Russell Country. |
