The history was very interesting. Since I have lived in the area most of my life I recognized many of the businesses and locations mentioned. I have visited the same many times and camped on the reservoir. The story line was interesting as well.

I just came back from a wonderful vacation in the Glacier mtns and stayed in Hungry Horse so I had a special interest in this book. It was very enjoyable.

I liked it. The historical events were in line with the cities and venues included in the story. Because I am familiar with this area, I really enjoyed placing the characters in the towns.
