Courting Law: Montana Courthouse Tales
10:45 AM
Montana Historical Society (east of the Capitol)
Description:
Eric Olson, Courting Law: Montana Courthouse Tales Vol. 4. THIS FOURTH AND FINAL BOOK in the Montana Courthouse Tales series carries readers to altogether new and different destinations. Join the author in a midnight poker game in Sweet Grass County's Grand Hotel. Watch a chess match between two legendary courtroom adversaries in a Broadwater County saloon. Climb aboard the ghostly Jawbone Railroad to hear tales from Wheatland County. Travel to an old theater, to local museums, and to the courthouses themselves, to hear the truth as only the ghosts themselves can tell it. Part travelogue, part cultural commentary, part primer on the American legal system, Courting Law - like the other books in the series -is much more than a just a historical chronicle. It's what justice looks like at the grassroots level. And just as he did before, Olson proves yet again that, when it comes to the history of Justice in Montana, the ghosts have the last word on the Truth.
