This book is a production of the Montana Historical Society and is dedicated to the late Ellen Baumler, a beloved member of the author team.In this conversation, the guests discuss the beginnings of the book, which included gleaning a lot of information from creating interpretive signs and writing placards for the National Register of Historic Places. Guests discuss this new book as a natural progression from their first , A History of Montana in 101 Objects , and how difficult it was to nail down just 101 places. This is a public episode.
