Growing Up Western

An honest, often humorous, sometimes poignant, account of boyhood in western Montana during the 1930s and 1940s. Growing Up Western is a glimpse into the real West, before condos and fancy log homes, even before electricity, when times were tough and a man, or even a boy, relied on his wits and experience to survive. In the untamed West, kids grew up fast. One of those kids, Monty Hall, narrates the riveting, gritty story of his childhood, including tales of his grandfather, Old Al -- a great western spirit if there ever was one-in this fast-paced story of growing up western.
