Black‑and‑white photograph of an old wooden church standing in a dry, open landscape in Bodie, California. The weathered building has a steeple and bell tower, with a few other abandoned wooden structures scattered in the background. Dramatic clouds fill the sky, emphasizing the ghost‑town atmosphere and the sense of a preserved past.

Witness of the past, still standing. Once welcoming the people of one of California’s largest towns, it is now a place where your imagination can wander freely.

Look what just arrived by @mkn.bsky.social !! Dr.Nelson earned her bona fides with me with her Native perspective in the Pulitzer Prize finalist, Three-Cornered War. Neither stereotype nor romantic imagery permeate her writing.

Black and white photo of an abandoned log cabin and small wooden structure on a rocky slope outside Lake City, Colorado. The cabin has a steep tin roof and a missing window. Behind it, a wooden mining structure rises among pine trees on a rugged mountain hillside. The scene is quiet and weathered.

This abandoned cabin sits quietly outside Lake City, Colorado—an echo of a long-faded mining boom.

There’s a special kind of stillness in places like this. You don’t just see the past; you feel it.

Headlines announcing Montana statehood in the Helena Independent newspaper

Gord Rollo wraps up the book with "The Leopard," an engaging novella involving Montana statehood on November 8, 1889. Gord is known mainly for his horror writing, but his father wrote westerns and Gord loves the genre. 17/ #oldwest #westernfiction #westernhistory
