This review is from: Red Lodge and the Mythic West: Coal Miners to Cowboys (Hardcover)
I was born in Red Lodge and graduated from Red Lodge High School in 1960. I learned some facts which I did not know about the early days (1890-1940) of the town. I feel that the author over emphasized the town's officals with respect to throwing out the indians and the cowboys, and then bringing them back into the history for the economic salvation of the area. She should have praised the officials for rescuing a dying coal town, but of course that would not have been what her PhD thesis was trying to prove. I also think that she over emphasized that the Festival of Nations did not include all ethic groups, but only the enthic groups that were represented in the area. What else could they have done? Overall, the history should receive a grade of A, the social science should receive a grade of C+.
