This is the tale of ordinary citizens who came together to support their sons and daughters overseas, and the tens of thousands of Montanans who left the Treasure State to serve their country in the military and defense plants.

Those who remained planted Victory Gardens, purchased record amounts of war bonds, and endured the hardships brought about by war-time shortages and rationing.  Montana's Home Front is the most comprehensive look at the state during the early 1940s and the tremendous sacrifices made by ordinary people to support their country in time of war.  Originally published in 1994, this revised edition includes many rare and previously unpublished photographs.
