A trapper in Montana during his youth, he stayed on as a publisher, politician, and businessman, beginning to write in middle age. \u003ci\u003eThe Montana Stories of Frank B. Linderman\u003c\/i\u003e, originally published in 1920, still crackles with the freshness of arctic wind, the pungency of aged whiskey, the impact of a whip. \"In the Name of Friendship\" sets up a deadly bluff with ironic results. \"Was Chet Smalley Honest?\" shows a good deed in danger of punishment. \"Jake Hoover's Pig\" describes a hungry man's sentimental attachment to a fat porker. \"Cranks\" is a frontier precursor of the Odd Couple. \"What Followed a Sermon\" testifies to the sobering effect of preaching in a saloon. These and other stories are filled with rustlers and hustlers, Mounties and tenderfeet, Crows and Blackfeet, mountain men, prospectors, bartenders, lawyers, townspeople, and assorted dogs, cats, and horses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 214\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 7.98 x 5.36 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 1997\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50328143102189,"sku":"9780803279704","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/DrYMN6aCv69780803279704.webp?v=1784887814","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/the-montana-stories-of-frank-b-linderman-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
