    Roadside Geology of Montana Paperback - March 10, 2020
    "The Roadside Geology series originated in 1972 with Roadside Geology of the Northern Rockies. Fourteen years later, the Big Sky portion of that book was updated to become Roadside Geology of Montana, a bright-yellow field guide that soon graced bookshelves across the state. Now, nearly 50 years after the first book, Mountain Press is releasing this completely revised full-color second edition that, like so many things in Montana, is big. But consider this: no other place in the world has such amazingly diverse and well-exposed rocks with such dramatic stories. For example, Montana lies at the northern edge of the Yellowstone caldera, the world's largest and most violent volcano. A lot of what the world knows about dinosaurs and their demise came from fossils discovered in Montana's badlands. What began with panning for gold in the 1860s led to 1-mile-deep mines in Butte that supplied 60..." Click here to learn more: amzn.to/30YRDev

    "There’s a feeling that exists within every state, small town or city - an energy all its own. The smell of the air, the sounds of the morning and the memories that reside there can fill us with nostalgia when we return or rifle through mementos. These places exist in our memories, and though life often relocates us, the sentiment for our experience there remains." amzn.to/3iSWEeB

    My 4X great grandmother was a child when her parents settled in the Gallatin Valley in 1864. Apparently, they were one of the first white families to live in that part of Montana (25 years before it became a state). My parents were born in Columbus and Billings in 1937 and 1941, so they might remember some of these old store fronts.

    Like many people pointed out here, some of these places in Montana haven’t changed all that much. In fact some of these small towns, if you rode down Main Street on your favorite horse with your spurs strapped to your best riding cowboy boots and your best pony all cleaned up with your peacemaker strapped to your side, they wouldn’t give you a second glance.

Evaporative coolers which is what 9 9% a people use weren't really affected because the humidity was real high. Only the rich can afford air conditioning because of the price of electricity.

    The coldness, ugliness, and brutality of the decade seem to be unparalleled. Most of the people in the images look as if they were endeavoring to appear as the hardest of all military heroes - including even the smallest, and also the female ones, of the children. This indeed must have resulted from a collective psychosis, from a fear one could be associated with flappers and with effeminacy. An earlier incarnation of much of the stylistic harshness and inner emptiness apparently has unfolded in France, around 1790 and well into the time of Napoleon.
