The Last Best Place: A Montana Anthology. Annick Smith is a free spirit and her book of Montana memoirs, HOMESTEAD, highlights her joy in living life as she has chosen it. She approaches each of her experiences with perspective, joy, wonder, and strength. Best of all, she has the talent to put those experiences into words that captivate and enthrall her readers as she brings them along with her.

This book is an anthology of some of the greatest stories and storytellers of the American West. Through eight chapters and over 800 pages, 150 writers present scores of myths, stories, poems, essays, and journals that document Montana’s significant literary tradition. The selections range from pre-white Indian days to the present, and, taken as a whole, they offer a powerful microcosm of the entire western experience.The chapters, each prefaced by an original essay, progress chronologically from myths and tales of the Indian people to accounts of exploration and the fur trade, followed by the mining and stockmen’s frontiers, the agricultural and small town experience, as well as a special chapter on Butte--the richest hill on earth.Contemporary chapters take up the emergence of the modern West in the middle years of the twentieth century as well as the renaissance of western literature in contemporary fiction and poetry. These chapters include many authors who have earned national reputations in fiction, poetry, and criticism, but they also include many younger writers whose careers are just beginning.

Silver Globol

This is a HUGE book that contains short stories concerning life in Montana, from the early 1700's to current times. Very interesting to read honest experiences of Native Tribes, Early Settlers, European Imports, Ranchers, and Homesteaders, as well as current Professors, Cowboys, and Bartenders. Never an easy life, but always an exciting experience to make you way in Montana. You can open this book dozens of times and find something new. Great value and experience for the cost of this book! A wonderful addition to any Western Literary Collection.

Great pictures by renowned Montana photographer, Mike Sample. Everyone who has a warm spot in their heart for Big Sky Country should have this in their library. We're getting one for each of us who grew up in Montana and are gathering from around the country after forty years apart to swap stories and catch up with each other. We'll all sign an inscription to everyone on each - like signing baseballs at the all-star game, and each of us will take one home.

The Last Best Place is an anthology with incredible breadth and scope. It was put together over a three year period by a group of dedicated editors and researchers headed up by Annick Smith and William Kittredge. The goal was to identify and preserve Montanna's rich literary heritage ranging from the earliest Native American inhabitants and explorers to contemporary authors such as Rick Newby and Bill Hoagland.
The size of the anthology is proof that it was a daunting if rewarding task. Over 1,000 pages long, it cannot be considered "light" reading, and yet the writing shines. There are sections from Lewis and Clark, Osborne Russell and James Audubon, (all early visitors to Montana), side by side with Native American stories and myths by the like of Jerome Fourstar, James White Calf and Pete Beaverhead( don't miss "Chickadees" as told to Frank Linderman by Pretty-shield, Medicine Woman). Here too you will find cowboys, settlers and wild west characters such as Mary MacLane who declared from a very early age, "I want Fame...Let me but make a beginning, let me but strike the world in a vulnerable spot, and I can take it by storm." There are essays, legends, journals, tall tales and poetry; tales of stunning beauty, adventure, disaster, brutality and vision. This is a book that belongs on the shelf of anyone who understands the importance of place and is fascinated by the literature that has evolved out of it.

A wonderful anthology of all things Montana. I have never been there -- yet. but have plans for a trip in late spring early summer next year. This book has given me the flavor of the state and its people. I am so happy that I found a copy used that was affordable. I cannot recommend this highly enough! I would expect that the residents of Montana would cherish this volume. I am jealous!

It's so easy

Great book for any proud Montana resident. My daughter and son-in-law moved there 5 years ago and love reading about their adopted state!

If you like raw honest real, this book will break your heart. Kitteridge is constantly eloquent and sweet in his love for Montana, for nature in general and for a vision that will keep the hope alive that it may stay as beautiful as we remember it.
