Journalist Amy Gamerman will visit Elk River Books during her national tour to sign copies of her book, The Crazies: The Cattleman, The Wind Prospector, and a War out West, on Friday, April 4, from noon to 2 pm.
Gamerman’s book explores the recent battles over land use in and around the Crazy Mountains of Montana. “A dazzling piece of narrative nonfiction about land lust and the American West, The Crazies tells the story of a wind farm that triggers a 21st Century range war between a struggling fifth-generation rancher and the billionaires next door.”
“Like the ferocious winds that roar down from the mountains and across the plains of central Montana, The Crazies has the power to leave you feeling walloped, whipsawed, and wildly invigorated, all within the same breath,” writes Kevin Fedarko, author of A Walk in the Park. “This story boasts the page-turning compulsiveness of a true-to-life thriller, set in the heart of the American West.”
Gamerman has written about real estate and culture for the Wall Street Journal for more than two decades. The Crazies is her first book.
Elk River Books is located at 122 S. 2nd St. in downtown Livingston, and features a curated selection of fine new, used and collectible books, and is a community gathering space for numerous author events.
