In language reminiscent of the wild beauty of Big Sky Country, Mary Clearman Blew gives us a glimpse into the lives of her family as she traces their connection to Montana’s natural and human landscape. Beginning with her great-grandparents’ arrival in 1882 in Montana—still a territory then—Blew relates the stories that make up her life.
