This book is a collection of episodes from the popular radio program, Montana Medicine Show by Derek Strahn, that originates at KGLT studios on the campus of Montana State University - Bozeman.  Though the program strives to inform, its main objective is to entertain--to relate some interesting or quirky anecdote and provide an enjoyable or thought provoking glimpse of Montana's past.

Floods, fires, earthquakes, and blizzards frequently take the stage.  But at the center of it all are the people.  Montana's medicine show is filled with a raucous cast of hucksters, risk-takers, reformers, warriors, and reprobates.  Here one will find manly men and feisty women, tradition-clinging conservatives and reckless radicals.

The style is fun to read, and the book adds interesting illustrations to every story.
