Before Meriwether Lewis saw the Great Falls of the Missouri River in 1805, the area had been visited for centuries by plains bison and the Blackfeet Indians. The city’s founding father, Paris Gibson, learned of the falls from Lewis and Clark’s journals, and with financing from railroader James J. Hill, Gibson began building the city of Great Falls in 1884, capitalizing on its Missouri River location. After the railroad arrived, the first of five hydroelectric dams was built, along with smelters for silver and copper. The year 1909 saw the homestead boom and settlers by the thousands, while World War II’s construction boom supported large military facilities in the city. Great Falls’ good times lasted 90 years.

"Colton lay in silence amid the serenity of the forest as the morning sun peered through the clouds. The weather was chilly, but not enough for him to worry that his breath would fog the air and give his position away. As he waited, Colton reflected that he would be changing the lives of at least a half-dozen people, including his own, forever. He adjusted the crosshairs of the scope and began to squeeze the trigger." Colton Wylde is a small town business man, a respected member of his community and a patriot. When his friend, a local congressman, warns him of an insidious plot to fundamentally alter the country and rewrite the constitution, Colton knows he must act. The stakes are raised dramatically when the congressman turns up dead. Colton and his trusted friends take up arms to avenge the death of the congressman, defend freedom and save the republic. In our politically correct times where many are afraid to stand up for America, The Last Countrymen is a story about men who pledged their lives, reputations and sacred honor to defend a nation worth dying for.

Swing Era New York: The Jazz Photographs of Charles Peterson

Charles Peterson entered the jazz world of New York as a guitarist but made his true contribution documenting an era and its most notable performers. A photographer whose images captured the passion and intensity of his subjects, Peterson took up the camera in the mid-1930s and transformed himself from a performer on stage to a visual recorder and observer of the stage. Creating a photographic style that combines artistic sensibility and technical skill, he became a preeminent New York jazz photographer of the pre-bebop, small combos and Big Band era. A deep love of jazz led Peterson to the legendary clubs of Harlem, 52nd Street, and Greenwich Village; concert halls and ballrooms; jam sessions; recording studios; backstage get-togethers; and private parties. As a jazz scene insider, Peterson had access to all of these formal and informal venues and was often recommended to shoot special events by musicians, record producers, and club owners because, as Eddie Condon once noted, "he knows how to handle musicians. He won't bother them when he shouldn't bother them and he'll get what you want." And he did. Among the countless subjects he enshrined on film are Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Zutty Singleton, Fats Waller, Mildred Bailey, Cab Calloway, Pee Wee Russell, Lester Young, and Jack Teagarden. Peterson's photographs expose a startling contrast between integrated bandstands and audiences and the segregated world, and reveal the determination of those who refused to be confined by such oppressive conventions of the time. They depict musicianship and camaraderie, dancing, and technical innovation, as well as the harsh contrast of an all-too-pervasive alcoholism that interrupted the lives of many in that New York scene. Jazz historian and critic W. Royal Stokes provides commentary, historical and biographical information, and lively anecdotes that connect the musicians featured in Peterson's photographs to each other and to the music within the social world of jazz. Don Peterson, the son of Charles Peterson, restored the 229 photographs included here from his father's original negatives. More than half have never been published, while many others have not been seen in print since the 1940s. This striking collection represents a historical document of a city and an era that brought the great jazz and swing musicians of the time to the height of success and solidified their reputations.
