The first Montana Historian Magazine was published in 2010.

The stories that have been printed in Montana Historian are as diverse as the people who populate our great state. Yellowstone Park has been featured more than once; stories on the changes in transportation over the years, how vigilantes proved to be such prominent sculptors of where we are today, the growth of the recreation and tourism industries, and biographical stories of prominent names in Montana’s history have all colored the pages of the magazine.

Over the years, we’ve moved Montana Historian from print to digital, as has been the trend in the publishing industry. We are also writing various articles on other platforms such as Substack. John writes stories about Montana in his publication, The Anvil’s Ring, with some overlap between Montana Historian and The Anvil’s Ring. Kerry writes informational articles for Equature, an information technology company that produces logging recorders for public safety agencies. She is also working on fiction on her Substack publication The Small Town Series. And lest us not forget Kerry’s Negligent Gardener website for some fun thoughts on gardening.

We’ve been on the road more often doing research, creating photos and videos, and enjoying the wonderful state of Montana. We are also inviting guest columns for the website and if you are interested you can read more about this opportunity here.

We look forward to adding some longer and more deeply researched stories than we have in the past two years. What we’ve found has surprised even us and made us a bit uncomfortable. But that’s the way history is supposed to be, isn’t it?

Thank you,
