Montana's History In Passionately Collected Photographs, Stories, and Documents Montana: A Paper Trail is a story of two journeys. Thomas Minckler has spent a half century on a personal journey to collect nineteenth- and early twentieth-century letters and documents, vintage photographs, rare books, paintings and sketches, and territorial imprints on Montana and the northern Plains. Years of collecting and research on these items has uncovered valuable insights on previously unknown aspects of Montana history. Every artifact in the collection has a unique paper trail, a journey that reveals the colorful and fascinating story of Montana. Noted historian Dr. Brian W. Dippie wrote, “In this sumptuous book, Tom lays his treasures out before our eyes, and provides the context necessary to understand the claim each holds on his attention. When I look at what he has packed in his treasure chest, I find my vision tinged with green. Montana is known as The Treasure State for good reason. Gold coursed through its early history and gold dust still clings to the treasures in Tom’s collection. Appropriately, his record of his adventures on Montana’s paper trail is ambitious in scope and full of rewards for those who would accompany him on his journey.” Highlights to be found in Montana: A Paper Trail include: * The largest archive of letters and photographs of Granville Stuart and Teddy Blue Abbot in private hands and perhaps the most important archive in any library in the country. * Charlie Russell drawings from the Granville Stuart and Teddy Blue Abbott Collection. * Thomas Francis Meagher’s 1865 letter after he received the appointment by President Andrew Johnson to be secretary of Montana Territory which turned into an acting Governor immediately. * Index * Bibliography * Color and Black & white photographs throughout * Hardcover with dustjacket

In Poetic Silence: The Floral Paintings of Joseph Henry Sharp celebrates a hitherto unexplored facet of the career of one of the most beloved painters of the American West. With more than 100 full-color illustrations, this gorgeous book belongs in the library of everyone passionate about the West and the sheer beauty of flowers in bloom. As author Thomas Minckler writes: The fact that Joseph Henry Sharp painted a significant body of floral still life paintings...may astonish many people. The spiritual founder of the Taos school of art is known primarily for his realistic portrayal of the American Indian. In Poetic Silence, like Sharp's flower paintings, is a labor of love. With its splendid color reproductions, it is a lovely bouquet presented to the reader.
