THERE WILL BE OIL
Appetite and Inevitability on the American Prairie

The keynote address I gave at the annual conference of the Montana Historical Society back in September appears in the Winter 2013 issue of Camas, published by the Environmental Studies Program, University of Montana, Missoula.

Thanks Phil Condon, Caroline Stephens, and Melissa Wardlow.

And thanks again Brian Shovers and Kirby Lambert of the Montana Historical Society and Ken Egan of Humanities Montana. You made possible a deeply gratifying experience for this Butte boyo.

Please support Camas!
