A quick, conversational read .... full of wit and intelligence. OL' JODY by John Wehren is a delight! From the first page, Wehren begins his adventurous saga, revealing the everyday life of the adventurers, trappers, and First Nation people living in the Upper Rocky Mountain West around the turn of the century (1800) when daily survival in the Montana Territory was of paramount concern. Great insights into the vast pristine Big Sky are revealed as the solitary lives of the beaver trappers, the enormous power of Mother Nature and the unforgiving challenges of frontier life are revealed through the hand to hand, day to day action of Wehren's characters and story. Wehren's geography is spot on, making reading for those familiar with Montana and her many memorable locations and landmarks an added joy. Many secrets of the past are blowing in the winds of Montana as Nature's elements reclaim cabin and fence, legend and lore of past events. Wehren is a gifted storyteller. He is also a guitar virtuoso, having been inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Wehren is a memorable oil and acrylic painter, with favorite subjects being First Nation people and their encounters with each other and the spiritual world. Wehren's artwork has been galleried at the Lewistown Art Center and is prized in many private collections.OL' JODY is a perfect read for American Western history and adventure enthusiasts .... the story is a fast-moving journey marking the beginning of the taming of The Last Best Place!

A few inches om front of my fifteen-year-old toes (which as luck would have it, were roughly the same age as the rest of me) was the wind-exposed corner of a buried box which contained some plumteen millon dollars in stolen, unmarked United States currency. That nostalgic memory sneaks into my consciousness each time I try to figure out how to pay my monthly bills without bouncing a check higher than a Shaq slam dunk.
