The Historic Preservation Office is pleased to announce the new book (which we hope will be available before Christmas) called "Miles City Memories."
This book will feature the ONLY published transcript of the Geo. Miles diary of 1876; the memoirs of Laura Brown Zook, who arrived in Miles City in 1878 and was the town's first librarian, also taken from her original hand written notes; the never before published memoirs of Tessie McGuire and her son-in-law, Robert Koerner, who lived at Fort Keogh during the Remount Station days of the early twentieth century; excerpts from the Yellowstone Journal and Sam Gordon's "Recollections of Old Milestown" plus some samples of the letters written by the Ursuline nuns when they first arrived in Miles City in 1884.
There will also be never before published photos from the Zook and Koerner families, including views of Fort Keogh as you have never seen it!
The book will be 5" x 7", staple bound, around 100 pages and will sell for less than $10.00. Exact price to be determined after we pay for printing it! I hope to have it done in the next couple of weeks.
