When Roscoe and Tooey leave Fort Benton after their run-in with Cronkit out in the Little Rocky Mountains, as told in "Roscoe and Tooey, Montana Runaways," they ride out to Clint Stranahan's place on the Teton River. There they learn to milk cows, to put up hay and to irrigate the hay fields. After working hard all summer they are asked to help with finding some missing cattle for a rancher a few miles west on the Teton River. They pack their bedrolls and some gear thinking they'll only be gone for a day or two at the most.. But when Roscoe hears some men burying something by the river late at night, their search for missing critters turns into a more deadly adventure. They follow the Bootlegger Trail into Black Eagle where they learn to their chagrin what the men were doing out on the river so late at night.

In the early l930s the country is in the midst of a depression and Prohibition is the law. Stewart Connor, a young lawyer, has come to Fort Benton, Montana to go into law practice with F.E. Stranahan, a local attorney. With him have come his wife and his two young sons, Ronald and Robert, (Roscoe and Tooey). Not yet acquainted with any of the young people of the town, the boys make friends with Pete McCall, the elderly caretaker of the fairgrounds. When Pete's old mare dies, after giving birth to twin foals, Roscoe and Tooey persuade him to let them raise the young fillies. Two years later, because of tragic circumstances, they are faced with having to sell their now well-trained mares and return to the city. Desperate to stay in Montana, the boys decide to run away with their horses. What follows is an adventure, narrated by Roscoe, describing how he and his brother come to be the heroes of the 4th of July Parade.

In June 1965 a group of dedicated professional artists of the theatre met in Paris, France, to create the International Association of Theatre for Children and Youth (ASSITEJ). Four days later ASSITEJ was born, and its story began in "Discovering A New Audience For Theatre, Volume I (1964 - 1975)." Now Volume II covers the years from 1976 - 1990 a period of the greatest divisiveness, which ultimately resulted in a rededication and a worldwide expansion under new leadership. ASSITEJ now has over 80 national centers around the world. Its Secretariat is currently in Croatia, and the members of its current Executive Committee (2008 - 2011) come from Argentina, Australia, Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Rwanda, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, USA, and Zambia. Volume III will complete this history, and will cover the years from 1991 - 2005, completing a history of the first forty years of the existence of ASSITEJ. Nat Eek, PhD is a Regents Professor Emeritus of Drama, and Dean Emeritus of Fine Arts at the University of Oklahoma. He was personally involved in the first ten years of ASSITEJ, as a member of the Executive Committee, a Vice-President, and ultimately its President. He was named Honorary President of ASSITEJ. He has attended all the International Congresses of this History with the exception of the Moscow Congress in 1984.
