The Falls Creek Grizzly - Stories and Histories
Along Montana's Rocky Mountain Front
Forthcoming from the University of Nebraska Press

This book is a cultural history of grizzly bears and people living on Montana's Rocky Mountain Front, a two hundred mile long north to south dovetail of limestone peaks and prairie.

The Falls Creek Grizzly

The Front is a wild and diverse landscape, home to grizzlies, three-generation ranching families and thousands of years of Native American history.

Mark Ratledge

Part journalism, natural history and story, this is a chronicle of my experience meeting and learning from ranchers, biologists, Blackfeet Indians, naturalists, hunters and outfitters.

I've found as many questions as answers, as many stories as hard facts. What is the heart of the ancient relationship between bears and people? Is there a common bond among people and an answer for the future of grizzlies on Montana's Rocky Mountain Front?
