While the Cowboy Artist Charles M. Russell and the Lewis and Clark Expedition have appropriately received extensive national and local coverage in print, the rest of the Great Falls story has not. Founded as a city long after gold rushes, vigilantes, and Frontier Wars, all too little has been written of Great Falls History. Yet, important and exciting stories are buried in the past from Glacial Lake Great Falls changing the course of the Missouri River to the trailblazing role of Alma Smith Jacobs, Montana's great Black Librarian and Civil Rights leader, to the pathbreaking historic preservation work of Charles and Sue Ford Bovey saving Virginia City, to the vital national defense roles of Great Falls during World War II and the Cold War. Ken Robison's Lost Great Falls and Hidden History of Great Falls help fill that gap.
