Montana Spring - Richard Magniet - Bog

A story with the broad scope of Lonesome Dove, MONTANA SPRING tells of the earliest days of the Montana region through the Brewer family, coming west from Virginia in 1856. In the ensuing years young Clay becomes a U.S. Marshal at 17 and at 19 takes a Blackfeet woman from the ill-fated band of Chief Heavy Runner for his wife. In MONTANA SPRING an unforgettable cast of charactes comes to life against the rich backdrop of Montana's history as her pristine paradise and Native peoples give way to the exploitation of trappers and traders, buffalo hunters and emigrants, miners, stockmen and the U.S. Army.
