Description
What good fortune to be among so many honorable players to recount a great piece of Montana history. Even more, how incredible to have actually lived it. If progressive history happens in pulses, 1965-80 was a shining flash. My error was in assuming that the level of creativity and energy was sustainable and would continue to be our way of life. Looking back, we now see it was a rare moment when all the stars lined up –the right history, the right leadership, the right Montana mindset. The only question that occasionally haunts me is whether we did justice to those momentous issues. Usually in the light of dawn, looking out at the beauty of the Crazy Mountains, I conclude that we thrashed our way through it pretty well. Thanks to Evan Barrett for memorializing such a remarkable era by putting together so many history-makers of that time in his seriesIn the Crucible of Change.
