Excerpt from Contributions to the Historical Society of Montana, Vol. 8: 1917The authors of the contributions contained in this vol ume, together with the subjects of which they treat, will be found by consulting the table of contents. We appreciate most gratefully the great friendship and service these authors have shown the Library by furnishing these contributions. The material we speak of, and which we are striving to col lest, is to be gathered alone from the pioneer men and women who founded this great young Commonwealth. They are rapidly passing - the majority has already gone, we earnestly appeal to the minority still lingering on these shores to tell us before they go what they know and did and saw, and what their comrades did and saw, in those tragic pioneers days, which go to make romantic the history of Montana.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
