"Montana Stirrups, Sage, and Shenanigans"

Authors Anne Krickel, Francie Berg, and Jeanie Thiessen reveal highlights from their new book, "Montana Stirrups, Sage and Shenanigans: Western Ranch Life in a Forgotten Era," in a program featuring a unique blend of music, history and storytelling. The Brink sisters grew up on a historic cattle ranch, founded in the 1880s, where the owner once ran thousands of cattle on free range. An Old West epic with a modern touch, their book is filled with vivid personal stories of ranching, wildlife, and western humor. It is a social history as well, of the uncommon people of the West, who practiced tolerance and respect, knew the close ties of family and community, and extended hospitality to strangers. Recorded on September 12, 2013.
