20 May A Montana Journey

Montana novelist and Big Sky Journal contributor Russell Rowland is on tour promoting his new book, Fifty-Six Counties: A Montana Journey. Rowland drove almost five thousand miles around Montana and read over a hundred books, interviewed dozens of ranchers and teachers, writers and miners, to finally arrive at this poignant and urgent portrait of our state. A blend of memoir and history and journalism, he shows us where we’ve been, who we are, and, perhaps most of all, what we might be in the process of becoming.

His tour dates are available here.
