Today Already third day of The High Plains Book festival
Last Friday citizen and guest of Billings had busy and wonderful day. They had
possibikity to meet Paul Wylie and started to know better about his new book Blood
on the Marias: the Baker Massacre. While other scholars have written about the
Baker Massacre in related contexts, Blood on the Marias gives this infamous event the
definitive treatment it deserves. Baker’s inept command lit the spark of violence, but
decades of tension between Piegans and whites set the stage for a brutal and too-often-
forgotten incident.
Unfortunatly meeting with Sumio Harada was cancelled, but at 7pm Debra Magpie
Earling was the keynote speakerat the Billings Public Library and her reading was the
beautiful end of the everning. All the listeners were impressed and a little scared. But
it was a cozy fright. the mpression was reinforsed by a strong wind outside the
window...
This Morning Members of the children's staff had a amazing time meeting award-
winning authors Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen today during the Montana State
Reading Conference. The authors shared their love of reading and how they work
together to develop their books. Boy do we love our jobs!
