We'll be leaving Somers, Montana tonight (Tuesday) in our "armchair traveling" up at the Marias Heritage Center here in Shelby as we conclude the book, "Somers, Montana: The Company Town." It's been a good read, & this evening we'll be beginning a new book during Montana History at the Heritage. Welcome aboard the true tale of "Montana's Waldron Creek Fire: The 1931 Tragedy And The Forgotten Five." On August 25, 1931, 5 men died fighting the devastating Waldron Creek Fire west of Choteau. The book's author, National Smokejumper Association chief historian Dr. Charles Palmer, shines a light on this imporantt story, finally honoring the heroic sacrifice that led to critical changes in wildland firefighting. Check out the book from The History Press at: www.historypress.net. See you tonight at 6 for more Montana History at the Heritage Center. Goodbye Somers, Hello Choteau!.
