Historic Tales of Flathead Lake by Butch Larcomb

$25.00
sold out

When asked about the greatest accomplishment of his thirty-four year Congressional career, Mike Mansfield, one of America’s most revered political figures, offered a simple reply: “Saving Flathead Lake.”

The largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River has centuries of oral and written history. Much like the towns dotting the shore, even the islands of Flathead Lake, such as Wild Horse Island and Melita Island, harbor rich histories. Expectedly, contentious battles over projects arose, including the construction of the Kerr Dam and the “Flathead Lake Fight of 1943.” From the sinking of the Big Fork to the still visible remains of the Helena, the lake has been site to numerous nautical disasters. And unexplained plane crashes, creatures and occurrences have confounded locals throughout the years. Author Butch Larcome presents factual, well-researched stories that paint a picture of the lake’s colorful people, historic events and lingering mysteries.
