A compelling portrait of how the passions of the Civil War played out among gold miners in the remote mountains of the West. In 1862, gold discoveries brought thousands of miners to camps along Grasshopper Creek—and by 1864, the Federal government had carved the Montana Territory out of the existing Idaho and Dakota Territories. Gold from Montana Territory fueled the Union war effort, yet loyalties were mixed among the miners. In this compelling collection of stories, historian Ken Robison illustrates how Southern sympathizers and Union loyalists, deserters and veterans, freed slaves and former slaveholders living side by side made a volatile and vibrant mix that molded Montana. Discover how fiery personalities like Union Colonel Sidney Edgerton and General Thomas Francis Meagher fought to keep order in the newly formed frontier, while brave Confederate and Union veterans and their hardy families created an enduring legacy that helped shape modern Montana.

Amelia's world shatters on her 18th birthday. Her fiance marches off to fight as a confederate soldier for Virginia in the Civil War. Amelia believes Jeremiah is dead. Year pass. They both create new lives. Jeremiah deserts and eventually marries, moving his family by steamboat up the Missouri River to Montana Territory. Amelia enters the no-women-allowed world of medical school. She graduates as a physician and marries. A deranged patient kills her husband. Filled with grief, Amelia, her sister and a maid, move west. However fate again enters and Amelia finds herself staring into the face of the man she once loved. Will commitments to their new lives be stronger than true love? Forever Friends acquaints you with Amelia, Josie, Sarah Marie, Beulah and Mrs. Mutchnik. Amelia has lost love and must grieve; Beulah fights for her freedom; Josie wants her identity back; Sarah Marie finds more to life than what is in the pages of books, and Mrs. Mutchnik? Well... Lenore McKelvey Puhek has completed three novels writing about pioneer women. "You have taken American history and made it intimate and personal. The individuals come alive, and their strengths and weaknesses are revealed with each page. You make us care about them. We feel both the boredom and the horror of war, the intense heartbreak of first love gone wrong. The satisfaction is of the good turn of events as they take risks and grab at opportunities to bring value to their lives, to live them fully...and to serve others in the process. This is a sacramental story of the everyday sacredness of life. Awesome reading...once I started I could not stop until I reached the end. You are a true storyteller. You have a special gift of "inflection" and character traits...this is so difficult yet you make it look easy." Mary A. Bell, Marketing and Public Relations Coordinator, Helena, MT.
