Literary Butte: A History in Novels and Film

Helena author Aaron Parrett discusses his book—Literary Butte—which examines the works of such authors as Mary MacLane, Dashiell Hammett, Ivan Doig, and many others who told the story of the Mining City in their own unique ways. Movies—like Perch of the Devil (1927), The Sisters (1937), and Evel Knievel (1971)—are also included in Parrett’s presentation and book. (Presence of the Past Program Series, May 7, 2015)
