As in Ken Egan's highly acclaimed Montana 1864, these stories are told month by month, deftly showing the flow and friction of events and the unfolding destinies of individuals and nations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Riverbend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606391020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Ken Egan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52259572711605,"sku":"9781606391020","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_30491a9c-a1bb-4c48-9e68-092a0ce36bd7.jpg?v=1771342264","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/montana-1889-indians-cowboys-and-miners-in-the-year-of-statehood-9781606391020","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
