Rangers, Trappers, and Trailblazers: Early Adventures in Montana's Bob Marshall Wilderness and Glacier National Park by John Fraley
Publisher: Farcountry Press
"Author John Fraley tells thirteen pioneer stories of the Middle, North, and South Forks of the Flathead River in and around the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Glacier National Park. In Rangers, Trappers, and Trailblazers, Fraley brings alive more than a century of history--old-timers, quirky characters, and mountain landscapes. The stories feature a love triangle and fatal shootout, tangles with grizzlies, a few unsolved mysteries, daring ranger patrols, six dead trappers, backcountry plane crashes, an unmarked mass grave, and a "war on predators" that extended across the Bob Marshall backcountry. Read along and learn the stories of Cowboy Chick Grimsley, tough Henry Thol (the ranger's ranger), Madame Queen, the Galloping Finn, and many other colorful historical characters from the Flathead River forks. The stories spring from dozens of interviews, site visits, and extensive research conducted over nearly a decade. This book honors these historical figures and preserves their uncanny stories before they fade from our collective memory."--Provided by publisher.

In a decade, Dan, Evan, and Bullseye will meet. It's a different world, with our country on the verge of collapse. Years of promises by Congress to give everything to everyone have to be paid for. The citizenry is taxed to the max and riots break out cross-country as a reaction to no jobs, no hope. Newly elected President Dan Crowley, who cares more about rescuing the country than personal gain, sequesters a bunch of smart folks at Camp David for desperate brainstorming to solve the budget problem and save the union. They go through the predictable-taxes, national lotteries; and the outlandish-disbanding the military? all falling far short.Three red-eyed days later, a reserved Cabinet member recommends shyly, "why not sell Montana?" Snickers ensue until President Crowley writes one word on his electronic board: "Sovereignty!" What if the government seized Montana and sold it to a sovereign people group with an established heritage and resources, but no homeland? Like the Christian Kurds in Iran and Iraq. Israel would likely pay a few trillion to help the Palestinians find a home, right? The President commissions committees to study the feasibility in rapid fashion. He declares the best chance at saving the country is to sell Montana!Word leaks out and Bullseye Magee, a Montana rancher, tourist-trap-operator, and hunting guide who is as attractive as she is cunning, but uses both to hide a dark past, is at the center of it all, and kicks up a secession movement, recruiting the Governor, militias and rich transplanted ranchers. Evan Morris, a seasoned guy with movie-star good looks, mostly because he was a movie star before time and Hollywood pushed him aside, finds himself drafted into the revolution despite paper-thin convictions.Their lives collide right about the time the first Autonomous Flying Car takes off and the economy crashes. A series of subplots launch, including attempts to steal herds of wild animals and other resources from the state, while our country turns inside out, spinning toward an unlikely ending!
