Highly recommended reading for Montana at 150: George Blacks Empire of Shadows: The Epic Story of Yellowstone. It’s a page-turner account of the discovery and formation of Yellowstone National Park. Black uses the Park’s evolution as the occasion to tell vivid stories of explorers, trappers, traders, military men, and of course, the many tribal nations in the region. One of the very best accounts yet of the conflicts generated by U. S. expansion into the northern plains and Rockies. PLEASE SHARE YOUR SUGGESTIONS FOR VITAL READING ON THE TERRITORIAL SESQUICENTENNIAL.
