Not only did she wear her hair uncomfortably short, she wore her heart on her sleeve, so to speak, showing off a star-shaped pendant on a choker around her neck. One might say Jo, as she was affectionately known to those few who truly knew and loved her, didn't care what people thought of her. However, coming from...

Bruce Denny began his time in this world June 3, 1941 in Laurin, Montana and made quite the entrance when he arrived. Thought to be stillborn, and with attendants dealing with his mother's already rough condition, he was placed in a shoebox and covered with a dish towel, to be dealt with at a less chaotic time. However, with a wiggle of his toes, a nurse saw that he was indeed alive. What could have been a terrible mistake was quickly corrected and Bruce began his adventurous life as one of...

March 17, 1891 My dearest Marie, I trust this letter finds you well, my love. I have arrived in Castle Town, Montana – 2 months gone and hopefully only another five or six weeks before I see your beautiful face again!

He was 79. He was buried in Boot Hill on Wednesday. And....that was it, three l...

Here are a few easy, DIY tasks to check off your list. 1. Close Up the Patio.

Beginning October 24, 2021, all local calls in Montana must be dialed with the 406 area code to connect. Montana’s 406 area code currently allows seven-digit dialing to complete local calls. That will change this month due to a Federal Communications Commission order designating 988 as the new, nationwide, 3-digit number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Some seven-digit phone numbers in Montana’s 406 area code begin with 988. To prevent misdialing the 988 Lifeline, all local calls in Montana must be dialed with the area code beg...
“I can’t believe that person is getting that close.” Just off the road stands a bull elk — a 700-pound animal with three-foot tall antlers — and a woman is standing not even four feet away from it. All it would take is for the elk to make one sudden swing of its head and the woman would be hospitalized. “Here we go again,” I say, rolling my eyes. Then I hop out of the van, instructing my clients to wait here while I try to handle the situation. I work as a privately contracted guide to lead visitors on wildlife and geology tours of Grand Teto...
