Rumor says Russians shot down flyers over Berlin
A West Yellowstone anecdote recounts how a lad spread a false report that two Russian flyers were shot down over Berlin. The town, stirred by rumors of war, later learned the story was untrue as tourists planned departures and locals discussed the hoax. The piece ends with a western tale about a Boston dude lost in the woods and a horse turning loose. The author notes the phrase turning a horse loose means releasing the rein and trusting the horse to return home.

Copper Camp and Anaconda in Butte’s turbulent history
A brass era critique blends folklore of Butte with modern decline. The author laments housing shortages, depopulation, and Anaconda Copper’s political and press influence, arguing for accountability and press freedom while warning against corporate domination in Montana.
Montana’s wintering ducks and the Anaconda struggle
The excerpt notes thousands of ducks and geese wintering in Montana including mallards along a warm creek, while linking Montana’s decline in population to Anaconda Copper Company and a heavy mining history. It highlights Butte as a famed mining hub with stark contrasts: copper-lit cemeteries and barren hills from past smelting.
