Pioneer Trails and Trials: Madison Countym, 1863-1920 by Madison County History Association - 1976

Virginia City, Montana: Madison County Historical Association, 1976. Thick Heavy Quarto. xii, 1029 pages, 1 unnumbered leaf of plates. Plus, laid in is a (4)p. insert of two families the printer failed to include (Jacob Albright, Edward and Amelia Trout). The Bicentennial edition. On the Steering Committee page, five of the members have signed their names under the committee photograph. The History of Virginia City (with the color photographic image of Ruby Valley on p. 300) is fascinating. Besides the hundreds of photographs, there is genealogical information that includes a little on all the long term families. An invaluable source on Montana History. Tipped in at the front is a note from a family member and a small note written on the front free endpaper. A very good copy bound in blue leather like cloth lettered and decorated in gilt, spine gilt, one corner bumped, a couple of small rub marks to upper joint.
