I’ve enjoyed blogging for the last five years, but it’s time
for me to retire this blog and work on other projects. This is my last post. I
will continue podcasting,
and I’ll contribute an occasional post to the Montana Historical Society’s Montana History Revealed
blog. If you’ve enjoyed the stories and historic photos I posted here, I
suggest you also check out the Montana Historical Society’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram feeds. You
can also find videos of all the talks (including mine) that are given at the
Montana Historical Society on their YouTube
channel. And, of course, you can always find more stories in my books,
available at the Montana Historical Society Museum Store or at
your local bookstore.
