Description

Evan Barrett has compiled a series of first-hand, primary accounts of a pivotal time in Montana’s existence. He has built a bridge for history; a bridge that scholars, and more importantly our future scholars and leaders -- our children -- can utilize in gaining a clear and honest picture of how we got to where we are today. The Highlands College/Montana Tech series by Barrett -- In the Crucible of Change -- shows the driving progressive effort of the period from 1965-80 and the courage of those who were both steadfast and bold in moving the Big Sky forward. It was a time when, after 75 years of the Copper Collar, the people of Montana needed to come first. This unique series has been delivered to us by a trusted scholar and former political leader. No one else I know could have given us this gift of truth in history, so lovers of Montana history will be thanking Evan Barrett for years to come.
