WILLA Literary Award Finalist in Creative NonfictionÂ
Finalist, Evans Handcart Award In the middle of the Great
Depression, Montana native Julia Bennett arrived in New York City
with no money and an audacious business plan: to identify and visit
easterners who could afford to spend their summers at her brand new
dude ranch near Ennis, Montana. Julia, a big-game hunter whom
friends described as “a clever shot with both rifle and
shotgun,” flouted gender conventions to build guest ranches in
Montana and Arizona that attracted world-renowned entertainers and
artists. Bennett’s entrepreneurship, however, was not a new
family development. During the Civil War, her widowed grandmother
and her seven-year-old daughter—Bennett’s mother—set out from
Missouri on a ten-month journey with little more than a yoke of
oxen, a covered wagon, and the clothes on their backs. They faced
countless heartbreaks and obstacles as they struggled to build a
new life in the Montana Territory. Burning the Breeze is the story
of three generations of women and their intrepid efforts to succeed
in the American West. Excerpts from diaries, letters, and
scrapbooks, along with rare family photos, help bring their vibrant
personalities to life. Purchase the audio edition.
