About this episode

Lotus Porte-Moyel interviews historian Ellen Baumler about her contributions to Montana's history and her work on ghosts.

When she was in high school, Lotus Porte-Moyel interviewed her neighbor, Ellen Baumler, about being a successful woman. Ellen’s success was measured in history books – she wrote 13 of them about the people and places of Montana and was the historian when it came to its capital city of Helena. But really? She was possibly best known for her good work on ghosts and Montana’s many spooky spots. Reported and narrated by Lotus Porte-Moyel, current student at UM Journalism See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
