Abstract
Ellen Baumler, interpretive historian and coordinator of Montana's National Register Sign Program at the Montana Historical Society, once again delights readers with her excellent Montana Moments: History on the Go. The book is the result of years of research she conducted while writing sign texts for the National Register of Historic Places and her popular History Half-Note radio vignettes for KCAP in Helena. She selected about 250 of her favorite snippets for this collection.
Baumler does a fine job offering readers short, well-researched, and entertaining stories on a variety of topics including animals, buildings, people, events, and nature that are accessible to anyone interested in learning more about Montana or the Great Plains in general. Her thorough research also makes the book appealing to academics looking for interesting anecdotes to include in lectures and presentations.
