{"product_id":"montana-highway-tales-jon-axline-9781467146579","title":"Montana Highway Tales: Curious Characters, Historic Sites and Peculiar Attractions","description":"Much of Montana's exciting history is visible from its storied highways. Visit a segment of the historic Bozeman Trail overlooking Virginia City, where vigilantes hanged public nuisance Joseph Alfred Slade just as his wife attempted a horseback rescue. Discover the saga of adultery, attempted murder and eventual triumph that occurred at a single stone building in the Browns Gulch area of Butte. On Highway 308 east of Red Lodge, learn more about the tragic 1943 Smith Mine disaster, where a methane explosion trapped and killed seventy-three miners. The catastrophe triggered investigations at the state and national level that resulted in improvements in mine safety. With more than two dozen stories, historian Jon Axline provides a front-seat view of the Treasure State's thrilling past, forgotten characters and overlooked oddities found by the wayside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Axline\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467146579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467146579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Jon Axline","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043433476351,"sku":"9781467146579","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26132cea-00af-47db-92ac-2a060cbca3b9.jpg?v=1684967125","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/montana-highway-tales-jon-axline-9781467146579","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
