Life and Death at St. Mary's Mission, Montana

St. Mary's Mission in western Montana served the Salish Indians and other Roman Catholic residents of the Bitterroot Valley. The baptism, marriage, and death records from St. Mary's for the 1866-1891 period have survived and provide a window on the Bitterroot Valley and the Salish Indian community during that period. This book provides an English translation of the St. Mary's records and family histories of many of the Indian families mentioned in the documents. Many important players in nineteenth century western Montana history appear along with the everyday people whose struggles to adapt to economic and political change wrote Montana history.Bigart, Robert is the author of 'Life and Death at St. Mary's Mission, Montana', published 2005 under ISBN 9781931291415 and ISBN 1931291411.
