Grandfather of Montana by Arthur Fond review
A sweeping profile of Granville Stuart, frontier figure and Montana pioneer, tracing his diaries, hardships, and influence. The author highlights Stuart’s honesty, diaries, and role in shaping early Montana through gold trading, ranching, and politics, while noting unread manuscripts with potential value for frontier lore. The piece compares biographical nuance to another obituary note on fingerprint changes at a Rochester firm.

New Romance of the Grand Canyon Oil Well Fills Canyon
The Grand Canyon in Arizona, famed by Powell, becomes a stage for a new frontier as wildcatters drill an oil well at Grand Canyon terrain. They face sheer cliffs and rocky terraces from Moab to the Colorado, bringing in supplies by boat and overcoming immense obstacles to reach producing sand depths. The effort underscores the gamble in oil exploration and the wildcatter as a modern engine of industry driving power, transport, and economic growth.
