Montana on My Mind (America on My Mind) Book

Here is a book for everyone who loves Montana. Here are mountains that soar with out spirits, meadows that bloom in the spring, rivers that amble through the prairie, forests that harbor wild things. Here is a country where a neighbor will lend a hand, where cowboys depend on their horses, where coyotes convene at night, where eagles fly. In Montana you can catch a brown trout on an autumn day when the cottonwoods are going gold and the sky is as blue as paint. Or cross-country ski on a moonlit night. Or watch thunderheads pile up against the horizon. In Montana you can see a whitetail buck keeping his head low, a pheasant cock in the golden stubble of a wheat field, a newborn calf, a bull elk in velvet. These images-ones that Montanans, native born and adoptive, cherish-have been captured in full color by photographers Michael S. Sample and Larry Mayer in the pages of Montana on My Mind. Here are photographs-scenics, portraits, action shots, wildlife-to delight the eye and lift the heart as we celebrate the beauty, the heritage, the pride, and the spirit of Montana. Accompanying the magnificent color photography are quotations from the works of notable Montanans. Mike Maclean, Charles M. Russell, Gary Cooper, and many others help articulate the profound and often inexpressible Sentimental Montanans (and who isn't?) will remember perfect days and dream of more Montana days to come.Read More
