Fraser brought vision and energy to the mayor's office, using it as a platform to promote Billings and Montana to the world. He tackled air and water pollution, cleaned up urban blight, and ensured that women, youth, and minorities were not marginalized. He championed Montana's history, cultural heritage, and tourism potential. A true humanitarian, Fraser was equally comfortable rubbing elbows with high level politicians and celebrities--like his father-in-law Robert Frost--and hobnobbing with the \"bums\" of Skid Row. He followed his conscience even when it meant bucking the party line. No stranger to tragedy or defeat, Fraser served the people and the state he loved with optimism, dedication, and panache.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lou Mandler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1940527910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940527918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Montana Historical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 6.93w x 0.87d","brand":"Lou Mandler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077786726655,"sku":"9781940527918","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_40f4d5a6-1357-45ba-aab9-b23ea4a37121.jpg?v=1685471782","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/montanas-visionary-mayor-lou-mandler-9781940527918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
