Join Arnold “Smoke” Elser and Eva-Maria Maggi for an evening of STORYTELLING and READING from their new book HUSH OF THE LAND (Bison Books, 2024). The book chronicles Smoke’s six-decade quest to protect wild lands by bringing thousands of people deep into the mountains of Montana on horseback. “Smoke Elser is a legend not only in the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana but throughout the Rocky Mountain West. . . . HUSH OF THE LAND will be read for years by those who want a saddle-high view of a unique and adventurous life well lived,” said C. J. Box, New York Times best-selling author of Storm Watch. Live music and snacks are provided. This book event is co-sponsored by the Montana Book Company, Wild Montana, and Last Chance Back Country Horsemen.
