Series
Identifier: VII
Scope and Contents
North to Montana! (University of Utah Press, 1980), a history of freighting between Salt Lake City and Fort Benton, Montana, was a collaboration with Betty Madsen. Most of the research was compiled by Betty from sources in the Library of Congress and the National Archives in the mid-1960s while the Madsens were living in the Washington, D. C. area. There are virtually no research files associated with this manuscript, except for the scattered remnants found in box 44, folders 1-5 and in the 1997 addendum, box 132. Some research material may be interfiled with the other 1980 books produced by Madsen. North to Montana! was written over a period of years, beginning in the Autumn of 1965. The Madsens published a preliminary article in the Utah Historical Quarterly in 1971 which is located in box 44, folder 6. An early typescript of this manuscript is located in boxes 44 and 45, followed by chapter revisions. There is no final version of this book in the collection, although an incomplete rough draft and some chapter revisions are located in boxes 132 and 133. Correspondence associated with publication and reviews are located in box 48, folders 10-11.
