This book began as a story about the women who were the author's, Cristine Wortman-Engren, grandmothers and great-grandmothers. As the oldest of four daughters raised by a mother who was the oldest of three girls it seemed important to me to learn...
On a homestead in the rugged Missouri River Breaks of Montana, the Wortmans carve a brittle existence out of the sagebrush and gumbo, enduring brutal weather, a harsh land, and dark family tragedies. "I was raised on Tough Creek," said Dick Wortman. "The farther up the creek, the tougher it gets, and we lived just above the spring."
This sweeping saga follows generations of the Wortman, Godsey, Gilmore, and Ness families as they move west from the Montana Territory. Based on richly detailed family diaries and letters, West to Montana is a classic American epic, a celebration of family, self-sacrifice, grit and Hard-won optimism.
