My
Jewel
Beck Like
much of Montana, the huge Flathead Indian Reservation was indeed a
frontier in the 1930s and ‘40s, only a generation removed from the
first white settlements that had been established there prior to the
start of World War I. Author Jewel Beck Lansing, who grew up on a farm
and later in her parents’ store located on the original reservation
lands, kept meticulous journals of her experiences from the time she
was 11 years of age through her junior year in high school. Jewel
chronicles the stories and history of this great land and its people,
using dozens of historical photographs to complement her accounts of
life among the area’s native peoples, the homesteaders who
oftentimes displaced them, and her own family. Whether you grew up in the city as a Generation X’er or can personally relate to the life and times described in My Montana, you’ll enjoy this heart-warming, exhilarating ride back in time to an exciting period in American history.
