Montana is alive with things that go bump in the Big Sky night.

It offers more ghostly encounters from Montana's heritage places, but branches out to explore such mysteries as the monster said to lurk in the deep waters of Flathead Lake, the power of an ancient object revered by native peoples, and a possible explanation for the death of Thomas Francis Meagher.

The penitentiary at Deer Lodge, established in 1870, was Montana Territory's first federal facility. These buildings bear the marks of a violent history: bazooka scars mar the tower where prisoners holed up during the infamous riot of 1959 and an inmate's delicate stenciling oddly adorns the room where the two riot masterminds died. Dark Spaces tells the physical and human tale of the troubled institution whose idyllic setting contrasts so violently with the history it holds. J. M. Cooper's detailed photographs of the prison's interiors and exteriors combine with historic images to illustrate the stories of the people who lived—and sometimes died—within its walls.Get it from the publisher
