Short summaries of 3,026 essays by Bill H. Ritchie, artist, teacher
and visionary drawn from his journals written between 1969 - 2009.
He structured the headings of each article according an imaginary
place he calls "Emeralda," imagining ten islands on a lake where
he, as a recipient of a mythical prize, is encouraged to write
freely about anything that seems important to an artist, teacher
and philosopher. Mindful of the use of new technologies, each essay
summary has key index features which would allow a reader having a
computer and optional CD/ROM to retrieve the full text of any
article. Or, using freely chosen keywords of their own, find the
articles which have those words in them.

Reeves gives us her authentic account of growing up around Jardine,
Montana (today a virtual ghost town) near Gardiner. Her stories are
sometimes funny: a runt pig, miraculously waxing fat after eating
the crankcase oil from of a Model T Ford. Sometimes awful, like
"the worst day" in her life when her brother blew off his hand by
hammering a dynamite cap with a rock. Another brother almost died
from eating carbide powder cookies. This girl had an unusual
childhood, growing up near a dying mining town on the edge of
Yellowstone Park. Her book is a must-read if you are interested in
the disappearing Wild West as seen through the eyes of a little
girl.
