Description

Montana’s colorful history is recounted at the over two hundred roadside markers dot that roadsides around the state. These signs provide a captivating introduction to Montana history for tourists and Montanans alike.       

      The fourth edition of Montana’s Historical Highway Markers, revised, newly illustrated with historic photographs, and significantly expanded, shares the text to these markers with easy-to-follow maps to guide you to the signs’ locations. Over 100 historical photos and new entries on Lewis & Clark and geological features supplement this new edition. Buffalo jumps, gold strikes, mining disasters, and famous battles all get their due in these roadside signs, as do dinosaurs, epidemics, irrigation projects, railroads, wagon roads, and wilderness areas. In short, the story of Montana’s people is offered up in energetic prose for the enjoyment of each Montanan and tourist alike.

            The text of the markers themselves, the story in the back of them, and delightful Shorty Shope illustrations make this book a “will have to read.” Road trippers will want two copies—one for their bookshelves and the other for their glove compartments.
