Iron Riders
$12.95. Written by George Niels Sorensen, Iron Riders tells the story of the 25th Infantry Bicycle Corps stationed at Fort Missoula in the 1890's.

An Alien Place
$14.95. The history of how the quiet college town of Missoula, Montana, nestled in the shadow of a mountain range at the confluence of the Clark Fork, Blackfoot, and Bitterroot Rivers, came to house more than a thousand Italian aliens and another thousand Japanese men whose loyalties were suspect.
Italian Boys at Fort Missoula, Montana 1941-1943
$14.95. By former Italian internee Umberto Benedetti: "It is my purpose to focus on that turbulent period of time in the early 1940s when I was interned at the Alien Detention Camp at Fort Missoula, and with photographs and documents to tell my story as accurately as possible. This book chronicles some events that are told here for the first time."
Purple & Gold

Missoula The Way it Was
$19.95. The history of Missoula has all the color one would imagine a western town to have. It began with a small trading post established for trade with the Indians, where in two years there were 10 violent deaths out of a population of 14. The exciting life of Missoula was enhanced by the soldiers stationed at Fort Missoula, Chinese, Indians, Vigilantes, Lewis and Clark, jail breaks, the founding of the university, train robberies, and more.
