En savoir plus sur le livre

Set in Montana's Tobacco Valley, the narrative explores the region's transformation from a Kutenai Indian settlement to a bustling hub for cattle ranching and timber production. Initially discovered by David Thompson, the valley's isolation changed with the arrival of ranchers in the late 19th century and the Great Northern Railroad in 1904. Despite early hopes for agriculture, the harsh conditions led to a focus on timber, shaping the valley's economic identity for years to come.
