Names on the Face of Montana

by Roberta Carkeek Cheney

Overview

Montana's place names are alive with a kind of poetry, rich in human and historical associations. In this book you can follow the prospectors to Gold Creek or Granite, honor government officials with Jefferson and Meagher, smile with the old timers at Ubet, and ride the prairie with cattlemen turning brands into Two Dot and Seventynine.
