Editorial Reviews
Review
"A fascinating story of settling the West, you told it like it was."
"I read it as soon as it came in the mail and hardly put it down before finishing it".
"Beautifully written, you have captured the feeling of the Asotin-Dayton-Touchet area where I rode up the Touchet River several years ago".
"You filled the gaps in history that I have wondered about, we never knew why The Pintlers were so named".
"What an inspiring story, Katie was a real pioneer and tears came to my eyes several times as I read of her life on the frontier of Montana".
"It's just fantastic".
"Katie was quite a woman, I would loved to have met her".
"Enclosed is the check for The Pintlers books. We found it very interesting, I donated a copy to the school library. It is a good read for any age, both adult and children". -- Comments from Customers
From the Author
Co-authors Nola Ann Imus and Charlotte Wray McLucas have made the Spokane, Washington area their home throughout their lives, and visit the Pintler Lake campground above the Big Hole Valley often. They have researched and documented this nostalgic fiction for those who enjoy a "good read" and will learn fascinating history of the Old West.
You will visit some of the same well-known areas visited by Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition now nearing it's bicentennial celebration.
We have opened the door to bold and courageous adventures of settling the west. Ride along with the caravan herding four hundred head of Indian ponies to the lush, green meadows of central Montana Territory to begin a horse and cattle ranch. We will follow the Mullan Trail to visit the historic Cataldo Mission, Fort Missoula, camp on the sit of the Big Hole Battlefield just eight years following the Battle of the Big Hole in 1877.
Discover why the caravan halted one hot July day in the Big Hole Valley, why the mountain range is referred to by The Pintlers. And then the Rest of the Story. Includes photos, anecdotes, unusual documents, maps and illustrations, even a photo of the Charles Pintler cabin built in 1885 in Pintler Meadows, it stands today.

THE PINTLERS, MAJESTIC THEY STAND--A GOOD READ,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pintlers, Majestic They Stand (Paperback)
Fantastic reading of the OLD WEST. I always enjoyed the Anaconda Pintler Wilderness, and always wondered where it got its name. Now over a century later readers learn the answer in this catching book. The old photos and documents are an integral part as well.
