Events

We are looking forward to Red Lodge author Mark Spragg's new book, Bone Fire,
with great anticipation! The release date is March 9, and we will
be having a big release party a few days later (Friday, March 12). Mark
will be joined by Cody author Laura Bell, and they'll sign books here
at the store for a couple of hours, and then we'll move a block down
the road to the Elks Club for snacks, readings, drinks, and general
gaiety.

Bone Fire follows the characters from Mark's previous book, An Unfinished Life, a decade later.

(We've read a pre-release copy of Bone Fire, and we loved it)

have Mark sign and personalize them for you while he's here, and you
can pick them up at your leisure (personalized books must be prepaid).

Cody author Laura Bell will be here with her new memoir, Claiming Ground. By turns cattle rancher, forest ranger, wife, and
mother, Bell vividly recounts her struggle to find solid earth in which
to put down roots. Brimming with careful insight, her story is a
heart-wrenching ode to the rough, enormous beauty of the western
landscape.

The release date is March 9, and we will
be having a big release party a few days later (Friday, March 12). Laura will be joined by Red Lodge author Mark Spragg, and they'll sign books here
at the store for a couple of hours, and then we'll move a block down
the road to the Elks Club for snacks, readings, drinks, and general
gaiety.

Local (Absarokee) author Dan Aadland is a student of American history, as a hunter, horseman, and former
Marine. As someone passionate about the West, Dan had long
felt a kinship with Theodore Roosevelt. One day, on a single-footing
horse, lever-action rifle under his knee, Aadland set out to become
acquainted with TR as only those who shared his experiences could. In Trace of TR: A Montana Hunter's Journey


documents that quest, inviting readers to ride along and
get to know Theodore Roosevelt through the western environment that so
profoundly influenced him.

Accompany Aadland as he rides the broad
prairies in search of TR's "prongbuck," tracks elk through the rugged
Big Horn Mountains, and pursues a glimpse of the grizzly in the
Absaroka Wilderness. Along the way the author's campfire musings and
reflections on Roosevelt's writings further deepen and enrich this
unique examination of our twenty-sixth president. With the trill of the
western meadowlark and the bugle of the elk, the creak of saddle
leather and the scent of sage, Aadland's journey takes readers into
TR's beloved Dakota Territory then and now, offering a kindred spirit's
moving, deftly drawn portrait of both the land and the man across the
space of a century.

Dan will be doing a book signing from 3:00 to 5:00, and then a talk about his adventures and Roosevelt at 5:00.
